Creating a comfortable sitting area isn’t difficult. In fact, you may be surprised to find that you probably already have quite a few spaces in your home that would transition nicely into sitting areas.

Here’s how you can design an inviting and comfortable sitting area in your home.

Find a Spot

The first step in creating a sitting area is to find an ideal place for it. There are plenty of good spots where you can chisel out your own personal sitting area. Some ideal options could include:

  • In Front of a Window

While a window of any size is an ideal location for a sitting area, full, wide windows are especially ideal places to make a sitting area. These are great places to curl up with a good book and take advantage of the view.

  • Cozy Corner

Another great place for a sitting area is a corner space. Turn a disused corner of the house into a sitting area where you and possibly a few others can relax, without being disrupted as easily.

  • The Bedroom

Adding a bedroom sitting area is a great way to enhance your personal space. Allowing you to take the time to unwind before bed or spend a few minutes preparing yourself for the day in the morning.
