Relax & recharge in The latest trend in home and design? Creating a calming ‘book nook’ where you can unwind after a stressful day. Here, Pia Edberg, author of The Cozy Life, Life shares her easy how-to’s HAPPY HUES + PLUSH EXTRAS “Setting up a cozy reading retreat or book nook in a corner of your home is a perfect, easy way to escape the stresses of the world,” says Edberg. “It’s a place where you can go and feel instantly calm. When you only use this space to unwind, it creates a reminder and you’ll feel a visceral response in the body.” Here, an armchair is made even comfier thanks to a set of plush pillows and a soft throw. Adding a bookcase nearby and setting out a tray of tea completes the vignette. “Choosing warm hues for accents, like the oranges and reds here, uplifts.” Other ways to bring in color: Add supermarket blooms, artwork and baskets.
