Create a Cozy and Inviting Living Room

When you have guests at your home, you want them to feel welcome and at ease. Your living room is a central gathering space, so making it feel inviting is essential. Choosing the right shades and shutters to control and manage the light can help make the space feel more cohesive and cozier—personal style like touches of texture help to layer color and light throughout a space.

Hunter Douglas Heritance® Wood Shutters in a living room near Saint Petersburg, Florida (FL)

Our team at Blind & Shutter Gallery is here to share ways to create a cozy aesthetic in your living room with Hunter Douglas window treatments. With over 20 years’ experience in helping homes look their best, our team knows just what it takes to make a living room design go from drab to fab with a few easy touches.

Add Layers of Light for Different Areas In Your Space

Natural light is a fantastic way to brighten both the room and your mood. Artificial lighting is necessary when the sun goes down, but a few smaller light sources are cozier than a single overhead fixture. Floor and table lamps paired with track lighting offer ample illumination without being uncomfortably bright.

Hunter Douglas shutters offer exceptional control over incoming light and privacy while giving your living room a classic, comfortable style. Tilt the louvers to your preferred angle or open the panels for an unencumbered view.

Cellular shades are another fantastic solution that diffuses light throughout a room while providing insulation to keep your living room comfortable. They trap air at the window with a discreet hidden layer of honeycomb-shaped cells mounted close to the pane to keep inside air in and outside air out.

Try Touches of Texture for Tasteful Varience

You must try incorporating different textures to create a modern and cozy space.

Nubby area rugs add visual interest and comfort to a room while reducing echoes in larger spaces. Cold floors are rarely a problem in St. Petersburg, but you can get the same effect using a woven jute rug. A large ottoman adds texture, additional seating, and many styles open to offer extra storage.

Layered window treatments are another excellent way to bring texture to your living room. Layering drapes with sheer shades or blinds elevates the aesthetic and increases the functionality of your window coverings. Installing drapery hardware just below the ceiling will make your living room look more spacious.

If you prefer a single window treatment but don’t want to lose the textural element, Provenance® Woven Wood Shades are the way to go. These handcrafted shades come in Roman, Waterfall Roman, and drapery options and use bamboo, grasses, and other organic materials to create unique window coverings that offer daytime privacy and exceptional protection from UV light. Consider adding a light-filtering or room-darkening liner to have more control over the ambiance in your living room.

Make It Personal

There’s no better way to make guests feel welcome in your living room than by adding personal touches. Put your favorite family photos, knick-knacks, and artwork on display to give your friends and family a peek into what you hold close to your heart. Unexpected pops of color, like accent walls and decorative accessories, also provide a space with personality and make guests feel at home.
