You can achieve coziness and intimacy in a large open space by defining the living room with a rug and arranging furniture close together, like in this Nantucket Cottage Inspired California Home.

This space feels super warm and cozy. Lots of natural materials were used, such as a sisal rug, warm red wicker chairs, a baskets with grasses fills the opening of the fireplace, and there's nothing cozier than an upholstered ottoman as a coffee table.

This cozy living room follows the same design ideas as the above. Seen on Dogs on Furniture.

Even though this is the library of a Victorian Nautical Home, it might as well be a cozy living room. I happen to like the color brown, it feels warm and earthy. Here, just the right amount is used, and the space is still bright.


You can cozy up a space inexpensively by painting an accent wall in a rich warm color. Brown again! If you look closely, you can also see that two rugs are used in the space. That's another trick to warm up a room, layering rugs. Featured on 12 Fireplaces for People who Love the Sea.

Goes without saying, nothing says cozy more than a fireplace. But besides that, what you see in this Shell Chic Cottage are plenty of rich colors and textures.

Similar, a wooden ceiling in one of the Alys Beach Homes. Exposed wood, be it ceiling, walls or a great rustic wood floor, create instant warmth.
And who doesn't love Nantucket Cottage Style, the ultimate of coziness!

I like all of them, but I am wild over that Nantucket room. And the chair is sort of like the one we have. I love the wood in that and the fireplace. I just love that whole Martha's Vineyard/Nantucket sensibility.

The sea life rug is super cute
Coastal is alway Cozy! Beautiful Post!
All the rooms are beautiful.
I like the second one the best. It's got two of my favorite things, pops of color in a sunny space!
