A red living room and cosy reading room in one

Red living room by day, cosy reading nook by night. There’s plenty of room here to sit and stretch, read, or surf the web on a comfy sofa and long chaise.

Armchairs help break up the living room into different zones to create a “my space, your space” situation. So you can read while your partner surfs from the couch.

Mix and match your cushion colours, patterns and textures to create a look you love. The trick is to use colours that complement your sofa, and a shade or two that pop. This will keep your collection from looking too monochromatic.

Don’t have a working fireplace? Get a cosy feeling with candles on the mantelpiece. You may not be able to change fire, but you can change up the designs of your candle holders.

Pick a set of lightweight coffee tables if your family members are high media consumers. They will be easy to move around the living room. Everyone can have their own space to place snacks, drinks and tech.

You can dedicate a wall to storage by arranging square shelves in a stairway effect. The coloured units coordinate with the cushions below. Plus, there’s a perfect perch for their projector.
