How to Create a Living Room Nook
If you’re stuck with a neglected living room corner, now is your chance to revive that space and transform it into an inviting nook dedicated to your most peaceful past-times.Think about the items or activities that make you feel at home. Is it snuggling down with a cosy throw, an area dedicated to hosting family or perhaps being surrounded by a veritable jungle of houseplants? They can all serve as reminders to slow down and find time for yourself. From setting up a spot for note-taking or a corner devoted to reading - here’s how to make your unloved spaces all the more purposeful, and beautiful.

Emania Cotton-Linen Bottoman, £895
When we think of a reading nook we envision an indulgent, cosy space perfectly accustomed to lounging, reading and escaping from our day-to-day. To achieve this, it takes little more than a comfortable chair, ottoman or pouf complete with a plush blanket and plenty of throw pillows to embrace an awkward corner and transform it into a distinct nook.

A run-of-the-mill corner can also be productivity-boosting. Use your extra space to get the whole household organised by building a station that fills all of your needs - think charging points, coasters for coffees and notebooks for jotting down your most inspired ideas. Ensure you’re taking full advantage of natural light or add in task lighting.
