Don't hold back and layer on as many blankets, pillows and even stuffed toys as you like. The more soft and fuzzy things you're surrounded by, the more your little nook will give you a sense of cosiness, comfort and sheer bliss!

Don't neglect your feet! Having somewhere to prop up your legs and rest your feet will make you feel like you're in paradise in your own home. If your chair and foot cushion makes you feel like taking a nap, then you know you're doing it right!

While white and black looks undeniably chic, in can also give off a cold vibe. Adding some colour will inspire joy and comfort instantly! It can be in the form of small items you can easily swap out like a pillow, rug or blanket.
If you prefer a more toned down look, go for wooden elements that add warmth and colour while still giving your cosy corner a minimalist look.
