Creating Cozy Corners: Nooks That Your Guests Will Love

Updated: Jul 19

Hey, fellow hosts! If you want to bring a whole new level of “ahhh” to your short-term rental, cozy corners are where it’s at. Whether it’s a snuggly reading nook, a cute breakfast corner, or just a spot to kick back and relax, these little areas can make your property truly unforgettable. Let’s dive into creating nooks that your guests will love—plus, we’ll sprinkle in some laughs along the way.


1. Find Your Nook Niche


Spot the Spaces

Got a corner that’s just screaming for attention? Under the stairs not doing much except collecting dust bunnies? These are prime spots for your cozy corner. Think of yourself as an interior design detective, hunting down those perfect nooks like Sherlock on a caffeine binge.

Light It Up!

Natural light is your best buddy here. A sunny nook is basically catnip for humans. But if you can’t find the sun, never fear—some warm, inviting lights can work magic. Channel your inner lighting wizard and let there be (perfectly cozy) light!





2. Make it Comfy, Make it Cozy


Soft and Snuggly

Your cozy corner starts with seating so comfy it makes you want to never leave. Think plush armchairs, cushioned benches, or even a hammock chair if you’re feeling adventurous. Then go wild with throw blankets, cushions, and a soft rug. Your guests will feel like they’re wrapped in a cloud—and who doesn’t want that?

Texture, Baby!

Mix and match different textures—think woolly throws, velvet pillows, and faux fur rugs. This adds depth and makes the space feel oh-so-luxurious. Plus, it’s fun to say, “faux fur” without giggling.





3. Add Personal Touches and Decor


Books and Magazines

Stock your nook with a mini-library of books and magazines. It’s like giving your guests a passport to another world without the jet lag. Include a variety to suit all tastes because nobody likes a book snob.

Quirky Decor

Spice up the space with unique items like quirky vintage finds, travel souvenirs, or local crafts. It’s these little touches that’ll make guests smile and think, “Dang, this place has character!” Throw in some plants, candles, and fairy lights, and you’re golden.







4. Functional but Fabulous


Table It Up

A small side table or shelf is a must. It’s the perfect spot for your guests to place their coffee, book, or...let’s be real, their phone. Don’t forget to add a coaster or two because nobody likes a coffee ring crisis.

Light Their World

Lighting is everything. Use warm, soft lights—lamp, fairy lights, or sassy wall sconces—to set the mood. Avoid those harsh lights that make everything look like a scary movie scene.


5. Themes and Vibes


Themed and Dreamed

Choose a theme that matches your rental’s vibe. Maybe a boho nook with macramé hangings and colorful cushions, or a sleek modern spot with minimalist decor. Heck, you could even do a Harry Potter corner and watch your guests go full fanboy/girl.

Seasonal Flairs

Keep things fresh with seasonal touches. Switch out cushions and throws for cozy winter vibes or breezy summer feels. Extra points if you can find a pumpkin-spice-scented candle for fall. Basic—it’s called being prepared.




6. Interactive Fun Times


Games Galore

Include board games or puzzles in the nook. Because who doesn’t like a little friendly competition? It’s a great way for guests to wind down and maybe even bond over a game of Scrabble.

Musical Moments

If you have the space, consider adding small musical instruments like a ukulele or a harmonica. Bonus: You might host the next great family band.




7. Tech-Free Zones


Digital Detox

Encourage guests to unplug by making these nooks tech-free zones. Pens, cute notebooks, even a knitting kit—anything that says “here’s to some good old offline fun.” Plus, it’s fun watching guests remember life before smartphones.








Creating cozy corners might just be your secret weapon to winning those five-star reviews and repeat bookings. With a bit of creativity, comfy seating, and a few personal touches, you can transform any corner of your rental into a delightful retreat. So go ahead—play around, have fun, and watch your guests fall in love with your space.
