Hi Houzzers,

Could you suggest on how to make my living room lighter and cozy? Please see below photos.

I have been reading and viewing a lot of designs here. I am leaning towards Scandinavian, minimalist, mid-century interior design. Minimalist because I prefer less clutter i.e. easy to maintain and clean. =)

The gray sofa and the plant will stay, so I am open for any suggestions to change the rug, hanging lamp, wall decor etc.

Also, my floor will be polished/varnished too, but I think the dark wood color will stay the same.

Thank you.
