My Cosy Nest

I had a perfect weekend pottering at home and rearranging my furniture and my front room now looks like this


I'd seen this layout on a rental listing for one of my flats and thought I'd see how it worked for me


I expected to feel cluttered but it feels like it makes better use of the space and far cosier. 

My new console table fits by window and hides the unsightly heater perfectly


My F&M hamper has been replaced by my Lloyd Loom cupboard 
(don't worry the hamper is being used as a table next to one of the sofas!)


Here is my newly arranged "dining room" 


There are still finishing touches to be done but I'm already enjoying how much cosier sitting on my sofa watching tv feels!

    It looks really cosy, but also light and airy at the same time - the best of both worlds. Love it! x
