Create a Country, Cozy Living Room
Normally your living room is the first room seen when entering your home. It will be a place for family or friends to sit and visit and you want to create a comfortable, inviting environment.
There are ways to create this feeling using color. Green is an excellent choice for the living room. Try painting just one wall in a subtle green or even a hunter green to achieve a warm inviting space.
Placement of the furniture should have a purpose. A small room should have at least one conversational area, while larger rooms may incorporate additional furniture groupings. To enhance the cozy feeling you should group your furniture around a focal point, perhaps a large window or fireplace. If your room does not have a fireplace consider purchasing a freestanding one. There are several types and styles to choose from. They are available with bookshelves built in with them, or a more elegant hand painted type might suit your needs.
If you really want to portray a warm, cozy feeling check out the
Americana Stove style
fireplace. With its simulated black cast iron finish and the brushed nickel door pull it really exudes warmth and comfort. Try adding a great area rug to the fireplace focal point area to bring the entire look together and achieve that country cozy feeling.
