Sometimes it doesn’t take a big renovation to completely change the feel of a room. I started noticing that part of our dining room wasn’t being used much, so I decided to rework the space and turn it into a cozy family corner. With the addition of a couch and a few thoughtful touches, this once-forgotten area quickly became a comfortable spot where we can relax, unwind, and spend time together. It instantly made our home feel more inviting, and I couldn’t wait to see it all come together.
This was my starting point once I moved the couch into the space. The couch was originally in our living room and still had plenty of life left in it, but the wall felt like it needed a statement piece to really ground the area.
I decided to bring in a large antique cabinet that had been on my foyer wall. This piece is perfect for switching out decorations for different seasons and holidays, which makes the space feel fun and ever-changing.
I also chose to keep the antique doors in this room to add to the rustic, cozy feel I was going for.
When you walk into the room, this is the left side, which wraps around to the other side of the space.
On the right side, I felt like it needed its own statement piece as well, so I brought in another cabinet that had also been in the foyer. You can see the second antique door on this side of the couch too, which really helps tie everything together.
I’m beyond excited with how this room turned out and can’t wait to make so many family memories in this cozy new space.
I have done in my house, move a piece and brings different feelings of joy, as u said, cozy
Love how y share your point of view
I love what you did. It looks so cozy!❤️
You did a fantastic job. The decor feels so comfortable and homey.
It really does look cozy. And brings color to the area.
Where did you put the small table and two chairs that you had there in front of the window ?
Barb, you brought the room all together. It is beautiful, cozy and so inviting.
Love it!!!
Love it Barb so beautiful and inviting! Enjoy!
Beautiful Barb
It’s so cozy. I like it.
Looks beautiful! Looks YOU! Glad you are getting your house put back together again. We redid our floors about 5 years ago and painted the whole living room, dining room, kitchen, abd guest bathroom last year. The lighter
color made such a difference! We bought a new couch too! I replaced an old piano with a lovely side bar piece for the living room. It is black and you would love it!! 😂. I also replaced a desk with a tall shelf. I love it! Next year I need a new rug and runner and a wide single chair and I’m done! Now I love my house again!!
