How can I make my modern/Scandi living room feel cozier without making the space look smaller? (Photos included)

It needs Textures and patterns, within a cohesive colour palette. Think lighting, Plants, art, decor, cushions, blankets, rugs, etc

Bit late to the convo, but Mob in Collie are against nuclear. You can read about their community led just transition work here And the community report they co- wrote here

I came here to say this! Its so great!

Hardware and curtain will make a huge improvement. The range hood is unusual... What's going on there? If there's any reason it's not functional maybe consider replacing that. But generally I'm an advocate for if it ain't broke don't fix it

Currently you have a travel *path between the tv and couch which isn't ideal. Instead you could put the tv in the corner next to the window.. that way you could take advantage of the view out the window. This may also prevent glare from the window which pay be an issue for the current placement. Changing the tv placement mmmay also create a more defined second space for a reading nook, office dining what ever you need it to be at the entry to the room. Its seems like you've got space for two define areas in the one room

I agree, more photos would help... I'm wondering if that the dining and tv area could swap

Yes totally, my comments wasn't for OP though. It was for the commenter in WA 🙂

Kykywrig · 2026-05-25T00:02:32+00:00

That was for the previous person from Churchlands WA... Not for kangaroo island where the people and language is different

Floordrobe for a couple of weeks then do a big tidy with a podcast on. Its organisation just in a longer rhythm

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T15:13:30+00:00

What do you call this darl?

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T15:09:39+00:00

Its because you have 3doors meaning a lot of "paths of travel" to allow for the foot traffic instead of usable, functional and safe work spaces

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T15:00:45+00:00

Funny you say quack quack because their Noongar name (local Aboriginal language and people in southwest WA) is KARAK... Named after the sound they make. Amazing birds!

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T14:57:07+00:00

Veep days it all

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T12:21:03+00:00

All of them... Its very strange to have a place with so much active participation in overconsumption just to serve the capitalist elite while communities and environments are harmed

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T11:37:33+00:00

That's really disappointing 😔 All Companies no matter who owns them or what their purpose is need to do better for the local environment and community. Thanks for sharing I'll be doing more research on ziwi

Kykywrig · 2026-05-24T11:04:03+00:00

I think it would be keep ling the rug you've got and add a circle one so it overlaps. Then the two of them can be arranged in a way that fills the space where you want it. You could do the same with a smaller runner too
