When it comes to living rooms, sometimes more is more. More pillows. More blankets. Definitely more books. Our archives are chock-full of tastefully layered and oh-so-cozy spaces; we’ve rounded up five of our favorites for you below.

If you’re thinking about layering your own living space, let this Goose Rocks cottage lead the way. Interior designer Liz Robinson took cues from the rich hue of the home’s original exposed beams and carried it through to the woven chairs, area rug, and artwork. Blue patterned throw pillows add a subtle (mood enhancing) boost. Photo by Maura McEvoy.

If blue is your hue, you’ll love this Falmouth condo designed by Linda Banks. In the living room, Linda transformed a previously flat wall by installing an electric fireplace and mantle, which is crowned by Samsung’s Art TV. Photo by François Gagné.

Nothing says ‘ski chalet’ like (faux) fur throws, and this Sunday River retreat is no exception. While a bluebird day might be a skier’s muse, with a view that good, we’d be just as happy whiling it away indoors. Photo by Jonathan Reece.
