Creating your dream living room starts with thinking beyond the obvious. Rather than pushing furniture against the walls, bring pieces into the room to create intimate seating areas and nooks with enough space to move comfortably around them. Layer your lighting to set the mood, paring back the colour palette to build cohesion and adding in key homey elements such as rugs, cushions, botanicals and accessories to make it personal and add character. Remember you can't overdose on texture so layer up your cosy softs, and then some!
