Sometimes all you need is a cute little tufted chair by the fireplace for warming your toes after coming in from outside. This chair has wheels so it’s easily moved from corner to corner.

The best way to create a cozy corner is to start with the right chair. Club chairs are always comfortable and a safe way to go – especially when paired with an ottoman. Add a small floor lamp to provide ample lighting for reading.

Lucky is the person who has a window seat carved into a niche. Especially if the window has amazing wood trim that helps to add warmth and comfort.

If you’re home is light and bright, you can still create a cozy corner with a pair of matching chairs and a pretty table lamp. Toss in a couple of pillows and a tufted ottoman for added comfort.

A fireplace is an obvious spot for creating a place to curl up when the days get shorter and chillier. A basket of firewood is at the ready for stoking warm flames.

Who doesn’t love a leather chair? Especially one like this that looks super soft and comfy! The coffee table is just the right height for propping up your feet at the end of a long day.

How about an elegant corner of the room? Relax on the chaise lounge while someone plays beautiful music on the piano. Dark blue walls and a contemporary chandelier add to the elegance of this space.
The color red radiates warmth and is the perfect hue for decorating a cozy corner. Stone and wood add to the earthy vibe of this beautiful room, complete with a pig residing over any festivities that might occur.
How about you? Do you have a cozy corner in your home? Maybe there’s an unused space just waiting to become your favorite getaway for reading or chatting on the phone!

Each one of these are lovely. So nice to see so many possibilities. My cozy reading chair is in my office. My quiet spot if husband is watching tv 😉
I love those window seats. They make me sleepy looking at them. On another note, I was wondering if you saw the email I sent to you about an amber bottle?
Love the idea of a reading nook. Had one in our previous home and need to figure out how to make one in our new home.
Now you have me dreaming of a cozy window seat, which i would love to have. Yes i have a nice little area with a chair, lamp and footstool. Thanks for the warm and snuggly ideas.
These cozy nooks have me envious. I would love to have a cozy spot to do my crocheting/reading. I’ll have to figure out how to reconfigure my living room but that would entail new furniture (sigh). I wonder if I could convince my hubby hmmm food for thought now.
Your post caused me to put the window seat cushion for our guest/music room on my “to do” list. I’m not sure if I should thank you for that or not… but I do thank you for the beautiful, inspiring rooms.
I also wish to have a window seat carved into a niche like the 3rd pic, so beautiful and comfy to lay there to do anything or just sleep, haha. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for all the inspiration! I’ve been wanting to do something lol, for several years, but thinking now I might just be able to get my cozy corner right, finally.
My cozy corner is in my bedroom. I have a comfy chair, console table and lamp plus a large window that opens to the garden. I really enjoy the space in the late afternoon when the sunlight is filtered through the trees and the shadow plays on the wall.
