How to Style a Relaxing Living Room

Everybody wants a relaxing living room but when you’re not sure what style you’re aiming for things can end up getting cluttered. Here’s how to keep things calm and create your dream relaxing living room.

Lighting is Everything

As always, lighting is key to set the mood of a room. A relaxing atmosphere can be created with lower lighting, which means opting for well placed lamps instead of overhead lighting.

Simple Soft Furnishings

A relaxing room must be inviting and cosy. Choose fluffy and soft textures for your soft furnishings. A high pile rug can go a long way in creating an inviting feel to a living room.

The Perfect Place to Relax

Creating a relaxing space starts with where you are going to relax! You need to be able to kick-back on the most comfortable sofa. We’d recommend our Ingrid Three-Seater – its quality and comfort cannot be matched. Choose a neutral colour such as light grey for a calming feel.

For more lounging space you should try our Dino Corner Sofa. This sofa’s chenille fabric will provide all the cosiness you need.

If cosy is your thing – you should definitely consider the Harper Cuddle Chair it doesn’t get comfier than this!

Natural Elements

Bringing an element of nature into your space can help induce a sense of calm. This could be with live plants or if you need a more low-maintenance option you could choose imagery of nature to hang in the space.

Less is More

There is nothing less relaxing than clutter. Free up your space, and your mind, by keeping clutter to a minimum. Steer away from non-practical items and ornaments, instead keep surfaces clear and decorations simple.

Use Colour to Your Advantage

You may or may not know that different colours can have an impact on your mood. Calming colours include: green, pink, blue, grey and white. Consider these colours when styling your living room to really create a relaxing feel.

With all these pointers, you’re sure to have the perfect relaxing space to spend your downtime in.
