It is also a place where you can relax and clear your mind after a stressful day or even a day. It is a place you can enjoy and can do things you want. It is not only for you or your companions in your home, but it is also for your friends or family that will visit you. Your home should be welcoming that they themselves will feel at home.
You can definitely add your personal touches, but some things can help your home be warmer and here are some:
Plants

You can have your garden, and can also add to your own living room. They can help with spaces and also for adding color and life to your room.
Rugs
With different colors and textures, rugs can easily make your living room cozy. You also do not need enough space for it. You can just have it under your sitting area, and you are good. Add to that, rugs also feel good and comfortable for your feet, so it might help you to be relaxed while watching television or reading or just sitting around.
Textures
Having different textures in your living room will also help it to be cozy. Rugs are already mentioned, but you can also add other things like throw pillows that are in different shapes and sizes and also some blanket that will help you keep warm on cold lazy days and nights.
Fireplace
Having a fireplace will help your mood to be set especially with the earthy smell of the burning wood. It will also help you a place to keep warm. But not all houses have the privilege to have one. You can still have an alternative like a gas fireplace. You can also look for electric fireplaces, and they can still work. If you do not have that much space, lighting candles are a good way to add coziness to your room.
Seating
There are a variety of seatings that comes in different shapes, sizes, and even textures available. Why just stick to one couch? As long as they complement each other and the whole room, you can add more like a big couch with smaller love seats or comfortable chairs. You can even add a rocking chair if you want to. Some ottomans are so versatile. There many available that can also double as storage. Then you can use them as a table or an extra seat. If you are having a lazy day, you can also use it as a footstool to rest your foot on.
Tables
