Creating a slow cozy corner at home

Hey, guys I hope you are doing well and staying at home safe and sound!

Ahhhhh you know how much I love everything COZY, it makes me feel warm and fussy inside, and happy ^^

So during this quarantine, I have created a slow cozy corner that I sit in to read and OR brainstorm / brain dump; and I’ll tell you all about it in this article ^^

SO, what is a slow cozy corner?

It is a corner in your house, it can be inside your bedroom, or the patio or even the garden, it is a place where you can sit and have some quiet time (not necessarily self-care, but still ha-ha)

WHAT CAN YOU DO IN THIS SLOW COZY CORNER?

1… Meditation / journaling

It can be your getaway inside your home, where you sit and have your 10-minute meditation or journal your morning pages; and trust me I have been doing this during this quarantine and it is making me super happy and chill.

2… Brainstorming / brain dumping

You can sit with your pen and paper, reflect, and set your daily, weekly or monthly goals while listening to calm music or a motivational video or a podcast.

3… A place to escape

You can listen to a podcast episode while drawing or while scrolling through social media (there is nothing wrong in scrolling through Instagram from time to time ha-ha)

HOW CAN YOU SET YOUR SLOW COZY CORNER AT HOME?

1… Set a place a bit far away from the noise and fuss at home

Choose a place far away a bit, and quiet, that is why I prefer to have it in my bedroom, or patio, where I can be alone and unbothered.

2… Put any furniture that makes you comfortable sitting

It can be a rug and a pillow; it can be a chair and table, or a small sofa, the most important thing is being comfortable while sitting..

3… Do NOT aim for the bed

Your bed is a NO ZONE! I know it is comfortable and cozy, but the bed is for SLEEPING ONLY! Your cozy corner must be dissociated from it.

4… Choose the surroundings

A scented candle, a lantern, or “des guirlandes” are always the best to choose from; because having a scent around you with a dim light is the coziest thing ever in my opinion! A light soft blanket and extra pillow too (don’t turn it into a second bed ha-ha but still XD)

5… Greenery is ALWAYS a good idea

Try to include a plant in your cozy corner, a real or fake plant, and you will see the difference!

This way you will be eager to come home and cozy up in your little piece of paradise ❤

Let me know if you have a cozy corner and if you do not, what is stopping you from making a small one? Ha-ha
