Modern Cozy Living Room Shopping Tips

Before you get started always measure your space and do a quick floor plan. You will thank me later for this tip when your furniture fits.

The WORST thing that can happen is you buy everything only to discover it’s too big or small for your space. Download your FREE measure guide to start this process NOW.


Modern Cozy Living Room Inspiration

After you have your measurements and floor plan the next step in the process is to pull images from Instagram or Pinterest that inspire you.

This is meant to give you ideas of the look you are after. You are NOT copying the design!

Maybe you like the color palette in one image or a piece of furniture in another. The purpose of this step is to help you determine the vibe you are after.

Narrow down your finds to the top THREE images you LOVE. More than that will overwhelm the process and keep you stuck.

We want to keep moving forward and course-correct as we go. Nothing is set in stone. You can totally change your mind but we need a place to start.

For this design I was inspired by these three images:

As you can see I was feeling the neutral vibe with texture, leather, wood tones, and gold accents. Ideas and inspiration were pulled from all three images to create the below design.

Nothing is a literal interpretation but the concept board has a similar vibe to the feeling of inspiration. That’s the goal when you are designing any space.

No one should be able to tell where the inspiration came from or they’ll say “oh she just knocked that off from XYZ”. We do NOT want this to be original and listen to your gut.

Only you know what’s best for your space. One last piece of advice, if you don’t want opinions then stop telling people what you are doing! No one can give an opinion on what they don’t know… Just saying.

This is the only way to create a space YOU LOVE that’s full of YOUR PERSONALITY.
