Comfortably Cozy

There is always a special feeling that arises in the spaces comforting to us.  Whether time spent in a childhood home, quiet moments on the back porch, or eating one of grandma's cookies, these are the moments we cherish.  With the world constantly pulling us in numerous directions, we must remember to take a few moments for ourselves.  Interior spaces can become your place of refuge by embracing your passions, your favorite colors, and your favorite memories.

By utilizing a tranquil color scheme inspired by water, this living room provides a cozy atmosphere for any gathering.  No items are too formal for the family pet to lounge upon, yet there is a sense of elegance exuding from the design.  Embracing the natural light pouring through the windows, the inclusion of shimmering fabrics and reflective surfaces keeps the space alive.

The upscale country design aesthetic of this space will instantly add coziness to any space.  The rustic wood chest serving as the cocktail table seems to be the anchor in which all other furnishings radiate.  Even the addition of the leather child's chair further emphasizes this space is meant to be lived in.  Windows dripping with floral fabric and unexpected match stick roller shades prove to be practical as well as flow with the other brown tones.  Organic vases with wildflowers add a freshness to this country design.

There is a calm and collected vibe to this living room.  With the inclusion of beach-inspired accessories, woven baskets, and casual greenery, this space would be perfect in a beach retreat (or providing a beach retreat in the middle of the city).  Slip-covered furniture adds instant coziness; your guests will never be fearful of ruining your upholstery.  The final touch to this space is the rough wood beams that seem to ground the space and keep the living room from becoming too large and sterile.
