I absolutely adore my living room, I think it's so cosy, feels like a Novembers night.

I love cosy vibes, can you show me yours please?

It is interesting how different people interpret the idea of a cosy room.

To me it implies kind of cluttered, lots of different fabrics and colours, lived in, candles, ornaments and books etc, lamps/soft lighting.

I think the variety of colour in OPs post are the cosy bit along with the lighting.

Totally agree, none of the rooms on here are particularly cosy, they're lovely but not what I'd call cosy, too sparse with everything placed strategically. Cosy is more, erm, ramshackle is the wrong word, just less formal? There aren't any random piles of books, knitting, a cat, mugs of tea, lots of photos, pictures, it's not unaffected enough if I'm making sense! Love the teal though, but I'd put loads of pictures on the wall for interest.

Can't believe all the negative posts. Op asked for pictures of other cosy rooms not a critique of hers. Talk about raining on someone's parade.

Mumsnet has been s real eye opener on how judgemental and negative people can be.

I love your mirror that way round! The diamond shape makes it such a feature. I have a square mirror in the bathroom... I think I might go and set it that way too.

This! Well done @wynee 😊

She sort of asks the question though in her OP, you can't post something on an anonymous forum that maybe a million people might see and expect no comments surely? I went down a rabbit hole just now looking for an image of cluttered, cosy and found a Mumsnet post from 2018 with someone asking if their living room was messy, it was in the Daily Fail fgs! It's the internet innit

We have a similar coloured living room
And an orchid coloured one as well 🥰

what is with the influx of twats on this post?!

i could have a great comfy nap there OP, looks relaxing as heck

I thought that! What a sad load of buggers.

I think it’s lush myself, very cosy.

So cosy, love the fairy lights, very much to my taste, only I have a lot more artwork on my living room walls.

TheLadyofShalott1 · 24/03/2023 23:46

Sorry @wynee I meant to add that I love the cosy vibe and I love jewel colours; oh and the fairylights, and I am in my 60's! But most of all, I love that you love it! ❤️

Name Changed. A cosy room needs a furry inhabitant.

I love everyone's photos. :-)
So nice to see what's been done, & I could walk into all of them & curl up happily, unlike some rooms in glossy magazines!
More please!

I'd need tech support to post a pic myself (daughter!) will ask her tomorrow.

Love the colours and lighting. Here's our cosy lounge.

This is lovely.

@wynee

why on earth do you want it to look like a November’s night?! It’s the first day of spring - cosy vibes are on their way out ready for the light nights and summer

@wynee again! I am so glad that you have the ability and vision to decorate your home in the way that you love, and that you don't feel the need to follow prescriptive fashion mores. In fact, if we have long sunny days, and that is what people like, then they can spend most of their days outside, but when it is that sunny and hot, I think it could make a nice refreshing change to come back into a darker and cooler looking room in the evenings - I think that gives you the best of both worlds then!

Rebel2 · 25/03/2023 00:18

@Creativityescapee I guess if anyone is like me then the knitting and books got put away and the cat is off doing cat business Grin
If I take a photo it's after I've cleaned or the cleaner has been

This is lovely.

Thank you :). Have enjoyed seeing everyone's beautiful rooms . Even though it's Spring, there's plenty of time for cosy evenings still 🔥.

Grapewrath · 25/03/2023 06:55

I love it OP
my house is boho vibes- not for everyone but cosy all year round. It doesn’t have to be November to make your house cosy!

One2eatmyshoe · 25/03/2023 07:39

@wynee I love your living room. I have similar colours in mine & it’s my favourite room. I love a bit of colour, especially teal & I realised a while ago I had something teal in pretty much every room! I’m not keen on the trend for very neutral decor, colour lifts my spirits!
