These two cozy living room designs use the same furniture layout but shift the whole feel of the space with different wall art and accent colors. The first leans calm and neutral with soft browns and natural textures, while the second brings in warm red accents.
A few of my favorite parts about these small living room designs are the textured accent cabinet, the uniquely different wall art, and the nested coffee table.
In this post, I’ve included links to all the elements in the design so that you can recreate the look in your own home. The paint colors in the image are from Benjamin Moore.

Couch
This clean-lined cream
Accent Cabinet
The chevron pattern on this cabinet adds fun texture without making the room feel busy. It’s a great way to bring warmth and a little personality to a room.
Wall Art
This simple neutral wall art is the perfect piece for above the cabinet.
Gallery Art
The soft, nature-inspired prints bring the room a calm and relaxed mood. I like how the light frames tie in with the neutral palette—it keeps things soft but still interesting.
Accent Chairs
These chairs are super cozy and bring in that rich brown tone that anchors the whole space. They make the room feel grounded and comfy.
Gold Vase
This cute gold vase adds a bit of shine to the room.
Cream Vase
A cream vase is such a versatile piece; leave it as-is or put seasonal flowers inside.
Area Rug
This rug pulls everything together with its soft, muted tones. It doesn’t compete for attention but still adds warmth underfoot.
Coffee Table
The round shape is perfect for softening up all the straight lines in the room. I like that they’re practical too; you can pull out the smaller one when you need extra surface space.

Making a few changes to a room can significantly transform the space and give it a distinct feel. Here are the elements I changed in Design #2.
Floral Wall Art
This floral painting adds a little movement and feels cozy and inviting. It brings in those warmer tones without being too bold.
Red Throw Pillows
These bold red pillows totally change the mood of the space; they add that cozy fall feeling I love. Just adding a bold accent like this can make everything feel fresh again.
Mirror
Swapping out the art for a mirror gives the space a more open, fresh feeling.
Second Area Rug
This version of the rug is just a little bit deeper in tone, and I think it helps the warm red accents pop even more. It makes the whole space feel cozy without going dark.
Paint Color Matches

Conclusion
Sometimes all it takes is swapping out a few pieces to make a space feel fresh again. Whether you go for the softer neutrals or the bold red look, both of these ideas show how a small update can make your living room feel even more inviting.
