HOW TO CREATE A COZY CORNER
I love this time of year when the air is a wee bit cooler, and the sun sets earlier than the week before.
This corner is easy to create with a lamp and chair.
Look at how much is tucked into this corner with just a few items you can find at home or at the grocery store!
I found this image on Pinterest, and these days I am not sure what is authentic or manufactured by a bot on social media.
But the elements in this corner are classic cozy.
Bots will never know what cozy feels like.

IDEAS TO CREATE COZY
Here are a few suggestions to get you started!
- an armchair
- throw
- lighting
- view
- plant or potted pine tree.
- sidetable
- You could add a candle to a small side table.
I love candles this time of year. The colder the temperature gets, the more likely I am to light a candle in the kitchen or the main-floor bathroom.
This is a great and inexpensive way to work with what you have on hand.
And how rotating a chair or a lamp can change the room!

PLANTS
Plants are the easiest and most affordable e way to add privacy to your windows or hide a view if you live in a high-rise (with a view of the mechanicals on the roof). Or your neighbor’s hot tub.
You can buy a plant at the grocery store.
As we head into the holidays, you can find a potted Christmas tree at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods.
Do you have a corner that could use a little love?
Gather inspiration from Pinterest or a magazine. Remember this popular tip when you get in a decor funk!
This is a reminder to work with what you’ve got!
And how rotating a chair’s orientation to or away from a window or corner can change the look and feel of the room.
I do the same thing with my larger plants.
Many of us have oversized club chairs that could be couch-sized if we just pushed the cushions together. But don’t be afraid to separate your club chairs.
Sometimes a temporary breakup is a good thing! :0)
So back to a cozy corner.
Finally, add a little whimsy to your cozy space.
I love this photo because who thinks to add a floral or plant to a book stack?
What a fun way to add a lamp or floral stems to a book stack

What do you think? Do you have a corner that needs a little love (or use)? Start with a window and a chair! It’s fun.
