“While armchair travelers dream of going places, traveling armchairs dream of staying put.”
There’s something undeniably inviting about a cozy armchair. More than just a place to sit, the right armchair brings comfort, warmth and personality into your space. It can anchor a room, offer a quiet retreat, or add a playful pop of texture and colour. Whether you’re styling a snug corner, refreshing a tired nook or completing your living room setup, the Cozmo Cozy Armchair is designed to make the process effortless.
With its clean lines, feather and foam comfort and versatile fabric options, from boucle to velvet, the Cozmo Cozy Armchair is as functional as it is stylish. Available in a range of rich hues like rust, green, blue and neutrals, each version brings a different energy to your space while offering the same laid back luxury Cozmo is known for.
Looking for inspiration? Here are 9 creative ways to style your cozy armchair, no matter your space or aesthetic.
1. Create a reading nook
There’s nothing quite like a cozy armchair to transform an empty corner into your own private reading nook. The plush feel of fleece, especially in a calming shade like cream, invites you to slow down and switch off. Place your armchair near a window if possible, allowing plenty of natural light to flood the space by day. Add a slimline floor lamp with soft, warm toned lighting for evenings and layer in a sculptural side table to keep your latest read within arm’s reach.
Styling tip: Keep accessories minimal to let the textures shine, think a single wool throw and a linen cushion for layered comfort.
2. Go bold with colour contrast
If your home leans toward neutral tones, introducing a bold colour can completely transform the mood without overhauling the entire space. The brick boucle is the perfect statement piece, its earthy hue radiates warmth and looks particularly striking against light grey, off white or beige backdrops.
For a balanced look, anchor the armchair with neutral accessories. Think a minimalist floor lamp and natural wood side tables. The contrast creates a vibrant yet grounded space that feels intentional, not overpowering.
Styling tip: Balance the warmth of rust with neutral accessories like a natural jute rug or a sleek black floor lamp to create a modern, grounded space.
3. Embrace texture play
A great way to create depth and interest in a space is through texture. Boucle, with its signature nubby finish, adds tactile charm and visual softness to any room. The green boucle version of the Cozmo Cozy Armchair brings this texture to life while still maintaining the chair’s contemporary silhouette.
Style tip: Pair your armchair with sleek side tables, velvet cushions or a soft wool rug. The aim here is to create a multi sensory environment that invites you to reach out and get comfortable.
4. Style for small spaces
Not every space can handle oversized furniture, which is where the Cozmo Cozy Armchair really comes into its own. Its compact proportions make it an ideal fit for smaller living rooms, bedrooms or even hallways.
In tight spaces, let your armchair shine by keeping the surrounding decor simple. A slim legged side table, a petite lamp and a plant in a ceramic pot can complete the look without overwhelming the space. This setup creates a functional yet stylish seating spot, perfect for guests or solo unwinding.
Styling tip: Position your armchair at an angle to create a sense of flow and keep side tables minimal or choose floating shelves to save on floor space.
5. Add a Pop of Colour
Sometimes all a room needs is a single piece of furniture to lift the energy. A midnight blue velvet armchair offers just the right balance between cozy and playful, making it a versatile choice for modern homes. Set your armchair against a neutral backdrop, white walls or pale wood floors work beautifully and let the colour command attention.
Styling tip: A single patterned cushion or abstract art piece nearby can echo the chair’s tone for a cohesive yet casual vibe.
6. Pair with a statement rug
One of the easiest ways to ground a cozy armchair and make it feel intentional is with a rug. Both neutral and coloured cozy armchairs, with their soothing shapes and vibrant tone, pair effortlessly with statement rugs, from bold geometric patterns to earthy jutes and natural fibres.
A well chosen rug helps define the space around your armchair, especially in open plan rooms. Opt for contrasting shapes, if your armchair is curved and plush, a more structured rectangular rug will create visual harmony.
Styling tip: Add a few low key accents like a sculptural coffee table or an oversized houseplant to complete the corner.
7. Mix and match with your sofa
When styling a living room, cohesion is key, but that doesn’t mean everything has to match. Mixing your cozy armchair with a complementary sofa can help create a curated and lived in look. Cozmo’s Cozy Armchair is designed to sit beautifully alongside the Cozmo Sofa, whether you opt for matching upholstery or embrace contrast through different textures or shades. Throw cushions and blankets offer another easy way to tie the two pieces together without making the space feel too uniform.
Styling tip: Choose a tonal palette and vary the materials, wool, velvet, boucle, for a sophisticated but inviting finish.
8. Layer natural elements
Bringing the outdoors in has never been more popular and your armchair corner is the perfect place to experiment with natural textures and earthy accents. A green armchair, especially in velvet or boucle, pairs beautifully with houseplants, wooden furniture and woven baskets.
Layer your space with greenery, think of large leafed plants like monstera or fiddle leaf figs, and use wood or stone for side tables and shelves. The result is a calming, nature-inspired sanctuary that still feels modern and fresh.
9. Statement corner styling
Sometimes the most stylish spaces are the simplest ones. A single velvet armchair placed in an otherwise unadorned corner can become an instant design feature, especially when paired with bold artwork or an oversized floor lamp. Both the rust and green velvet options offer rich, elegant tones that draw the eye without shouting for attention.
This minimalist approach works well in both compact city apartments and open plan homes, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style without cluttering the space.
The right armchair can completely transform the way a room feels. Whether you gravitate toward rich velvets, tactile boucle or soft fleece finishes, each design is crafted to offer the ultimate in laid back luxury.
From reading nooks and cozy corners to bold statement pieces, there are endless ways to style a cozy armchair. And with Cozmo’s contemporary design and versatile fabric choices, the hardest part might just be choosing your favourite colour.
