Ideas for creating a comfortable, cosy living room

With the new autumn season (and summer’s sad farewell), the time has come to relax and rediscover our special space in the living room. The living room that we have neglected over the last few months, when we’ve been spending more time outside than at home.

Make your living room your sanctuary once more, the place where you relax. This is the time to think of a simpler furnishing style with fewer elements that will help you to create a relaxing space. Moreover, the combination of different materials and finishes will bring a touch of cosiness visually, as well as in other senses.

2019 trends: wood, ceramics and natural fibres

Simplicity is the best and most recommended option. When we have just a few elements and pieces of furniture in a room, smaller details begin to play a more important role in the general style.

We are opting for a minimalist look: rounded shapes, light-coloured wood, ceramics and natural fibres in neutral and pastel shades. All these elements combine to produce a strong, unified look.

Furniture with fine lines

Furniture with fine lines and a minimalist design, like this shelving, bring lightness to the space. Also, try not overload the various shelves as this will interfere with the calm, relaxing feel that you are trying to achieve.

This type of furniture reminds us of the importance of always allowing daylight into every corner of your home.

Simplicity and an impression of space

This season, we are consciously striving to achieve simplicity, calmness and harmony. Here, we are combining soft patterns and textures to create exactly that impression. Freeing our furniture from accessories and unnecessary ornaments is also the best way to accomplish this result and it creates space in the different rooms.

Patterns, rounded shapes and brass as materials

We are also finding simple, graphic patterns: blocks, dots, mosaics and rounded shapes to highlight off. Don’t be afraid to combine, from the most traditional to the ultra modern, for both designs and materials. They set one another off to perfection!

Let textiles flow and add volume

Draping textiles create a pleasant ambience. Not only in a decorative sense, but for more practical functions: the combination of transparent curtains layered with thicker ones enables you to control the amount of light entering the room and the temperature more effectively.

Dynamic prints for textiles

Printed textiles are a strong trend. You can choose geometric prints, polka dots, stripes... Whatever you like! They are perfect for the look we have been creating: airy and uncluttered, with straight lines. We've introduced a little dynamism!
