On Instagram, we asked readers to send in the cozy corners of their home, and we got tons of replies! (I wish we could do a book of them!) Says Whitney, above: “I realize you can’t see a ton of my home, but this is the part of my couch that abuts the fireplace mantle. It’s my safe space.” Here, 11 more women share their nooks…
“My cozy corner is in front of the fire after our first snowfall yesterday! The beginning of winter always brings out my inner homebody.” — Nicola, Wakefield, Québec
“My five-week-old and I have spent lots of time here — reading books, feeding and rocking to sleep. Before he was born, I’d sit here and read or do work while I anticipated his arrival!” — Kasey, Columbus, Ohio
“Our rental really shines in these chillier months and it’s my favorite spot to read and snuggle with our pup Norman.” — Carly, Chicago
“My mom and I moved to Hyde Park, Chicago, about a year ago. When we moved here I knew this room would be the library — it’s been my dream to have a place dedicated to books. We finally unpacked the boxes, and I haven’t left since. My mom and I fight to get in that chair!” — Abby, Chicago
“Before COVID, my favorite pastime was scouring thrift stores looking for treasures, specifically artwork. Now, I love tucking up on the couch with a cup of coffee and a book, surrounded by my ‘friends.’ I always wonder about the people behind each piece!” — Lauren, Birmingham, Alabama
“We just moved in a few weeks ago, but it looks like all three cats are going to love it here.” — Hannah, southeastern Pennsylvania
“My cozy corner, amongst the plants, yarn, embroidery floss, books and with a knitting project in hand. It’s where I spend most evenings with an audiobook, a cup of tea and something to keep my hands busy while I stitch away the COVID stress.” — Charlotte, Rotterdam in the Netherlands
“The do-it-all table where I now eat, work, do puzzles (and scream at puzzles), paint (the floral painting in the bottom right was a paint-by-numbers activity from the first month of quarantine, aka 20 years ago) and stare into my disco ball to pass the time.” — Taylor, Brooklyn
“My very cozy/not fancy spot is my old nursing chair. Nursed, rocked and read to both my babies in it and now it’s finally in my room! Now it is a me-time/book-reading/Netflix-on-the-iPad/wine-drinking chair. I gave a lot to those babies in this chair, which was wonderful, but now I do not mind enjoying a little time in it for myself.” — Sarah Grace, Denver
“I sit here listening to my records, reading, cuddling with my pooch or talking to my husband who’d be lying on the couch across.” — Marianella, Lima, Peru
“This is as serene as it gets around here.” — Leah, East Marion, New York
