Living Room Layering: Make Your Space Inviting 🌟
Why do designer living rooms always feel so cosy? It’s all about layering.
Layering is not just a décor trend, it’s a way to engage all the senses. Soft textures invite touch, mixed colours create visual interest, and varied sizes make the space feel lived-in and welcoming.

- ▪️Throws: Drape Bed throw KORNBLOMST 160×220 beige or Bed throw FAGERKLOKKE 220×240 beige over a armchair or sofa. Throws add warmth, invite relaxation, and create a soft visual layer that makes a room feel intimate.
- ▪️Rugs: Anchor your space with Rug MASKROS D.160 taupe/beige or Rug BALSATRE 160×230 grey/white. Rugs define seating areas and tie together colours and furniture, creating harmony.
