Little nooks filled with natural light and comfy cushions are the best to reflect, meditate, read a good book and have some 'me' time.
Here are a few tips to create a cozy, peaceful nook.
- Natural light is the key. Try to build your nook close to a window. If you can, don't put any blinds or curtains.
- Fill the space with objects that you love. It can be flowers, pictures, scented candles, a cozy throw, etc...
- Add a rug to bring more warmth to the room.
- Make sure you have a good light for those late night reading sessions.
- Don't be shy with cushions. Maybe you are like me and you have a ton of cushions at home that are stacked in a closet because you don't like the cover anymore. Have a look on Etsy to find nice covers at a small cost to replace your old ones.
- Get a small coffee table to put your hot tea on, coffee or notebook. It's more practical that way. A few Ikea hacks might give you some cheap ideas.
- Avoid a white couch...Doesn't mix well with red wine !
