There’s already been plenty of blogging about sleeping nooks. Words that people use again and again to describe them: cozy, snuggle, escape, dream, safe, curl up, charming … and … “I want one!”
Why not make one? Essential ingredients to a cozy, dreamy, safe escape where you can snuggle and curl up and read and sleep:
- Encircled on three sides by walls, built-in cabinets, curtains, etc.
- A bonus: capability to close off the fourth side and truly hide out
- Lots and lots of pillows
- Blankets, of course
- Thick plush surface to lounge or lay on
- A light within arm’s reach
- A solid flat surface nearby to set essentials on, such as a drink
Here’s some examples. Found on Brittany Havican blog and pinterest:

What fantasy nooks, huh? But here’s the thing — they’re real, they exist for somebody who created them. Want one? You can make one too.
