Intimate and sensual. How to arrange a cosy living room?

A cosy living room is a place where we can always feel at ease and comfortable. How do we create an interior full of comfortably arranged corners, inviting us to carefree naughtiness?

Everyone has a slightly different recipe in mind for a cosy living room. Some dream of flooding it with soft blankets and cushions, others opt for a minimalist, bright and open space in which to enjoy a pleasant play of light and shade. We all have one thing in common: when we think of a comfortable living room interior, we think first and foremost of ourselves and our own favourite ways to laze around with impunity.

In creating our own temple of laziness, however, let us not forget that comfort is not only about a soft sofa, but also about an arsenal of practical solutions that make it easier to use the living room on a daily basis.

A COSY LIVING ROOM WORKS ON THE SENSES

When putting together our own ideas for a cosy living room, it is good to keep the details in mind - they will become the source of small pleasures every day. We can easily create a sensual jigsaw of materials ourselves: by choosing tactile upholstery for a soft corner sofa, ergonomic and comfortable door handles and furniture handles, or suitably soft cushions. The flooring from the REGA collection will also complement the look: vinyl panels with a natural wood grain provide a warm, cosy atmosphere. Thanks to its compatibility with underfloor heating and tactile surface, going barefoot will be comfortable even in winter - slippers will also prove superfluous on colder days.

Next to fabrics, it is wood that will most effectively build a feeling of cosiness in the living room. Its warm hue can easily be incorporated into your own interior design with the help of furniture. Some designs prove that comfort also lies in good organisation. With a coffee table in light oak, books, games or the remote control will always be close at hand. Thanks to the convenient drawers, you don't even have to dig out from under the blanket to reach them.

LIGHTING IN THE LIVING ROOM: AMBIENCE AND FUNCTIONALITY

In the living room, lighting plays a dual role: it must be functional and at the same time create the right mood. Side light points such as floor lamps, lamps on the dresser or table and wall lamps are particularly useful. Choose light bulbs with the right colour temperature. Cold, blue light (5400-7000 K) stimulates activity and promotes work and concentration. On the other hand, yellowish warm light (2500-3300 K) will emphasise the cosy atmosphere of the living room, helping us to relax and unwind.

Let's also consider how lighting can facilitate our daily rituals. If we often work on the sofa with a laptop during the day and usually land on the sofa with a book in the evening, a wall lamp with a movable arm may be a good idea. In the case of a large table set in the living room, a ceiling lamp will be good to hang just above it. It will come in handy during meals, family gatherings or evenings with board games.

The play of light and shadow does not have to end with the sunrise. The natural light of day, which loves smooth surfaces and translucency, can also be invited in boldly. A glass showcase, vases with flowers, posters and photos in antique frames or a mirror hanging in the living room will make the sunlight coming in additionally illuminate the interior, giving it a touch of mystery.

COSILY, OR IN YOUR OWN WAY

If you feel most comfortable in light, bright interiors, you can plan them in such a way as to avoid an excess of furniture, equipment and accessories. Furniture on wooden legs, which is not directly adjacent to the floor, can provide a spacious breathing space. This solution is particularly suitable for small flats, as the interior will then appear slightly more open.

In a sparingly arranged living room, our own ornaments will make their presence felt even more clearly: souvenirs, framed photos, posters, pictures, figurines or plants. Fill a cosy living room with emotions and memories and it becomes unique, truly ours.

We can easily give individual expression even to ready-made solutions. The modular Nui collection, with its comfortable seats and curved forms, which can be freely combined, separated and rearranged, will quickly adapt to our needs. The resting heart of the living room can easily be transformed into an intimate reading corner under the window. Even the colour of the fronts of the practical drawers can be changed in an instant to match the cushions, blankets or blankets.

DIFFERENT FACETS OF COMFORT

In the search for cosiness in your own way, it is worth freeing your imagination and going beyond the usual styles or proposals straight from catalogues. Play with the geometry of the furniture, the patterns of the accessories, the texture of the materials. It is also important to visit the living room, where you can sink into the sofa, touch the wooden floors, grab the door handle or the handle of a piece of furniture.

Comfort has many faces. In our search for small pleasures every day, let's try to find the one that is closest to us. After all, in a cosy living room every day we can feel free - feel ourselves.
