3. Add a Plush Area Rug

A soft area rug can completely transform a living room. Rugs help define the seating area and add warmth to hardwood or tile floors.

For cozy apartment spaces, choose rugs with soft textures such as:

  • Shag rugs
  • Wool rugs
  • Textured neutral rugs

A large rug placed under the sofa and coffee table helps create a more unified and comfortable seating area.
