Autumn is the season of slowing down, curling up, and enjoying quiet moments at home. Whether it’s a gripping book, a Netflix marathon, or simply a warm cup of tea, creating a cosy corner can transform your living space into a personal retreat.
Here’s how to style the perfect reading and Netflix nook, using the right corner sofa and thoughtful accessories.
Step 1: Choose the Right Sofa (or Corner of It)
Every cosy corner starts with comfort — and the sofa is the foundation.
Small Corner Sofa
If your space is limited, a Small Corner Sofa fits snugly into a room while still providing enough seating. It’s perfect for creating a personal nook without dominating the space.
Small Right Hand Corner Sofa
A Small Right Hand Corner Sofa positions the chaise on the right when facing the sofa, ideal if your room layout allows natural light or TV placement on the left.
Small Left Hand Corner Sofa
Conversely, a Small Left Hand Corner Sofa works when your layout favours left-sided light or an open pathway on the right.
Chaise Corner Sofa
For a more relaxing experience, a Chaise Corner Sofa lets you stretch out fully. Examples from Andora UK:
Pro tip: Don’t have room for a full nook? Simply dedicate one end of your sofa as “your corner” with a plush cushion and soft throw.
Step 2: Layer Textures That Invite You In
Autumn is all about layers, and your cosy corner should feel inviting on every level.
Chunky Knit Throws
Drape a chunky knit or boucle throw over your sofa for warmth and texture.
Cushion Layering
Mix cushions of different fabrics, velvet, corduroy, or linen, in autumnal shades like rust, sage, or deep navy.
Rugs
A soft rug underfoot helps define your space and adds comfort, especially near windows or corners.
A textured sofa like the Lagos S Corner Sofa can complement layered textures and store throws discreetly beneath the seats.
Step 3: Keep Your Essentials Close
A reading or Netflix corner is only as comfortable as its practicality.
Side Table Essentials
Place a small side table or tray next to your sofa for:
-
Tea, coffee, or hot chocolate
-
Current book or tablet
-
Candles for soft lighting
Sofa with Storage
Functional sofas like the Albio S Power Chaise Corner Sofa Bed allow you to store throws, books, or snacks within easy reach.
Step 4: Add Mood-Boosting Extras
Personal touches make a space feel unique.
Artwork & Prints
Hang a favourite print or frame a quote you love near your corner to inspire calm.
H3: Plants
A small houseplant adds colour, texture, and a sense of life to your nook.
H3: Music & Speakers
A speaker playing mellow autumn tunes enhances the cosy vibe.

Step 5: Style for the Season
Autumnal styling brings colour, warmth, and atmosphere.
Autumn Colour Palette
Rich rusts, deep greens, navy blues, taupes, and sand tones complement textured fabrics and wooden elements.
Seasonal Textures & Throws
Swap cushions or throws seasonally to refresh your space. Layering textures like velvet, wool, or knitted fabrics keeps your corner inviting all season.
