Every home needs at least one cosy corner. They are astonishingly multifunctional: great for curling up with a good book, taking a quick nap, hanging out with family, or for just doing nothing in. From lazy lounges to welcoming nooks, we bring you the cosiest of corners in Singapore homes:

1. Take advantage of your generous windows and set up cushioned bay window seats for comfortable lounging. We like the wooden border surrounding this alcove, which helps to define the space.

&nbsp;

2. To take the relaxing up a notch, surround your cosy corner with plants, which are known to boost tranquillity. Notice how the entire structure is mounted from the ceiling using thin wooden poles. This see-through and ‘floating’ design lends a light and airy feel to the space, preventing it from looking cluttered.

3. This casual home office setting features a storage platform that acts as an office chair as well as a lounging area during break times.

4. This cosy nook frames the window and features a privacy shield crafted from rattan so as to allow for ventilation.

&nbsp;

5. Here’s a couple who values their lounging! They converted an entire room of their BTO flat to a cosy corner, complete with a massive cushion. The space leads into the step-up bedroom directly, serving as the perfect spot for winding down alone or together before bedtime.

&nbsp;

6. If you prefer to have a cup of tea or a glass of wine while relaxing in your cosy corner, consider including a sliding table that can be adjusted depending on where you’re lounging at.

7. A black triangle marks this welcoming alcove by the foyer, which doubles as a bench for wearing shoes as much as a corner for reading or playing the ukulele.

&nbsp;

8. Inspired by the Muji aesthetic, the designer crafted a platform area by the window in the living room that was furnished with a pop-up table and zaisu chairs for the homeowners to have tea in.

9. An arched cosy corner lends a visual statement as much as a nook for cosying in.

10. The key to a successful cosy corner is a comfy cosy corner. And nothing says comfort like a proper couch.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28238" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Ehka-Arc-09.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="668" />

&nbsp;

11. A platform area was carved out from the open-plan living and dining area in this BTO flat to serve as a cosy corner. Furnished with a couple of beanbags and defined by the industrial style spider lights, the space provides the perfect setting for conversations, away from the distraction of the telly.

&nbsp;

12. Cosy corners can be crafted for watching television, which was what was done in this bedroom so that the activity won’t disturb sleep. The alcove sits on a slightly raised platform that is clad in a darker wood flooring compared to the rest of the bedroom, which helps to delineate the area.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93239" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Proj-B-Studio-West-Coast-House.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" />

&nbsp;

13. Evoking a sense of serenity and zen, this comfortable daybed features gentle hues and a clean, minimal aesthetic.

&nbsp;

14. Fashioned from plywood, this pared-back reading nook comes with open shelving at the sides for storage and tomes.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-93240" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/the-monocot-studio-reading.jpg" alt="" width="642" height="860" />

&nbsp;

15. This cosy corner sits by the entrance of the home, functioning as more than a lounge area. A shelving unit sits at the side as a catchall tray for keys and other knick-knacks, while a thin rod hangs above to collect various accessories.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76894" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/UNO-Interior-Binjai-Park-Home-Design-2.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="800" />

&nbsp;

16. Here’s a dream alcove for bibliophiles. Lots and lots of storage for books surround a cushioned bay window area, perfect for whiling the afternoons away whilst reading.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76268" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Upstairs-Gallery-Apartment-Design-2.jpg" alt="" width="938" height="1200" />

&nbsp;

17. Who says a cosy corner can't be in a kitchen? Here, a built-in bench at the end of the cooking space works as a relaxing spot for breakfast while the homeowner catches up on his email.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18119" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/DISTINCTidENTITY-SerangoonCentral-04.jpg" alt="" width="960" height="729" />

&nbsp;

18. This cosy corner sits literally at the corner of the living room, serving as a less formal area for lounging and relaxing. Featuring underneath storage, it's built around the flat's structural column, helping to camouflage the pillar.
