3. Comfortable Seating with Character

A cosy cottage living room needs seating that invites relaxation. Instead of sleek modern sofas, opt for plush, overstuffed designs with soft upholstery. Floral prints, checks, or solid neutral tones all suit the cottage aesthetic.

Add depth with armchairs, a rocking chair, or even a window seat if space allows. Layer cushions in different fabrics such as linen, wool, and cotton to create a lived-in and inviting look.

Slipcovers are another charming option. They not only protect furniture but also add a relaxed, homely feel. Light-coloured slipcovers can make a room feel brighter while still warm and welcoming.
