If you have a cozy corner in your home, consider yourself lucky! These little retreats have become popular for taking a moment to relax, meditate or refocus.
Wondering where in the home you can carve a space for a cozy corner? They can be placed in a living room, office area or tucked into a space under the stairs. These areas provide privacy and quiet within busy households. A cozy corner offers a space for a moment of relaxation, an afternoon nap, sipping tea or curling up with a book.
Make the most of your cozy corner by placing a large soft cushion for sitting or reclining. Add texture and interest by layering tinted neutral throw pillows and blankets.

A little unused space under the stairs can be an excellent multi-purpose place for kids to play, learn, relax or sleep. Bring in fluffy rugs for comfort and bright pillows and throws for a creative touch. A shelving unit is also a great way to display favorite toys, books and creations.
A neutral gray is an excellent background color. Lively yellow and refreshing blue accent the space.
