Rae’s Top Styling Picks: May 2026
IT'S hibernation time“It’s that time of the year where all we want to do is cosy up in a corner with a good book and a blanket, or spend 12 hours glued to the couch binge-watching the latest Netflix series – so I thought it would be a great time to dive into certified cosy living room inspo.”

With couch rot reason almost upon us (let’s be real, I’m already there), I thought it would be a great time to dive into some living room inspo that is certified COSY.
It’s that time of the year where all we want to do is cosy up in a corner with a good book and a blanket, or spend 12 hours glued to the couch binge-watching the latest Netflix series – there’s no inbetween.
Either way, fresh furniture and decor for the living room is a great way to get prepared for the lazy months ahead.
I’m still loving deep rich hues when it comes to textiles and decor, but lately I’ve also found myself gravitating towards baby blues. I think there’s something about this colour that just instills a sense of calm.
So I’ve collected some of my favourite sofas, blankets and cushions currently on the shelves with Aussie retailers to help you get inspired to create the living room of your dreams this winter.
