If you have a spare bedroom or an unused room in a finished basement, you might want to create a cozy nook for yourself that reflects your unique style and special interests. Read on for a few tips and tricks to help you design your own personal oasis.

Get Comfortable

A cozy nook should be a comfortable spot where you can relax and unwind. Depending on the size of the space, start with a sofa or a couple recliners Toronto, and drape warm throws over them. Add a coffee table for convenience and some plush rugs. Cover windows with curtains or draperies to control light, and add a couple lamps. Make sure that you have enough light to easily read or work on projects, but otherwise, keep lights soft. You should also stick to mostly muted colors that will emphasize the warmth and coziness of the space.

Reflect Your Passions

Your cozy nook should reflect your passions. If you love to read, line the room with bookshelves filled with your favorites. If you are a music lover, hook up a sound system so you can fill the room with your best songs. Set up a table for crafts or a workshop for painting in part of the room, or designate a place for jigsaw puzzles or board games. Whatever you choose, your space should allow you to do what you love with ease and delight.

Try Something New

As you create your cozy nook, don’t be afraid to try something new. You might just discover a new interest. If you normally avoid having house plants, add one into your space and see what happens. Hang up a piece of artwork in a style you usually wouldn’t choose. Add a pop of color that you haven’t used anywhere else. Display a quirky knickknack.

Whatever you decide to do, create a space that expresses who you are, and then sit back and enjoy it.
