Styling a corner is one of those pro designer moves that instantly elevates a space. Whether it’s an empty spot in your home office, bedroom, or bonus room, this moodboard doesn’t just offer inspiration—it breaks down the design elements you can use to curate a cozy, calming nook of your own.
The Thoughts Behind the Design
To kick off a relaxed look, I started with this plush armchair featuring classic rolled-arm details—it looks as comfy as it feels. For functionality, I added a sculptural black pedestal side table that brings in contrast and visual interest. And for lighting? That white table lamp with its scalloped, wavy shade might just be my favorite detail—it adds such a playful, elegant touch. The artwork above the chair ties in beautifully with the soft furnishings and the black accent table, creating a cohesive palette. And if you’ve got a window nearby, this window treatment is a foolproof way to elevate the whole look. Layering pinch-pleat curtains with a rattan bamboo shade adds warmth, filters just the right amount of daylight, and gives the space that designer-level charm.
