One challenge we face is making the rooms in our home feel warm and comfortable, this can be tough enough for those who have small-scaled houses. But for those who own newer or larger houses with open floor plans and high ceilings, make a feeling of intimacy and warmth can seem impossible. But, when you are equipped with these decorating tricks, making your big spaces feel snuggly is easy.

Arrange furniture in close grouping

The easiest and most effective way to make large rooms feel comfortable is to dissect them into close furniture groupings.

For example, to make the long and lumbering living room in my Greek revitalization feel warm and inviting, I separate the space into two distinct seating areas.

I divided the room in half by placing a sizable stand table in the center. The table acted as a friendly fence, directing guests to either the smaller, proper seating arrangement at the front of the room or the larger furniture grouping at the back, near the hearth.

I gave each seating part its own personality by using harmonious but different furnishings, area rugs, accents and artwork. The room flows beautifully mutually, but each space looks separate and complete.
