MINDFUL CORNERS

Create a pocket of calm in a corner of a room , where you can sit back , relax and de-stress . This corner will be wholly dedicated to wellness . Make comfort a priority and fill your chosen space with soft furnishings , think plush velvets , sheepskin and lots of soft cushions and throws . Position a chair near to a window so as to feel part of nature , even better a swinging or egg chair . Use this space to spend time with your favourite hobbies for example reading , knitting or drawing . A reading nook doesn ’ t have to be a large space ; take full advantage of architectural quirks , it could just be a window ledge piled with pillows , an alcove in the bedroom or a converted cupboard under the chairs – tailor the space to your needs , make it intimate , personal and somewhere that you won ’ t ever want to leave . Whatever provides you with a calming space to escape it all .
