Three small changes for a calmer living room

Abeer

Clear surfaces, softer light and fewer colours: easy changes that make a living room feel restful.

A cosy reading nook with a linen armchair, a knitted throw, green plants and a cup of tea

A calm living room is rarely about buying more. It is about taking things away and adding a few soft touches.

Start with the surfaces

Clear the coffee table and shelves, then put back only what you love: a stack of books, one plant, one tray.

Soften the light

Swap one ceiling light for two lamps at different heights and choose warm bulbs.

Limit the palette

Keep to three main colours and repeat them in cushions, throws and frames.
