It’s raining, and a little chilly. You scroll on Pinterest and see hundreds of pictures with the ‘cozy rainy window aesthetic’ and begin to feel an increasingly warm feeling just by viewing these photos. Not only are the photos aesthetically pleasing, but it makes you want to create the same relaxing, cozy vibes in your own home. The vision in mind is especially thought of during the fall, but of course, this still works for any season. I’ve listed the best items to create your own cozy window so that you can emulate your favorite Pinterest pics!
Window Bench/Nook
If you have your eye on one window that you know will be perfect for the cozy rainy/reading area but doesn’t have a seating area, purchasing a window bench would be ideal for creating this look. When buying a window bench, try to find one that you can sit comfortably on; you don’t want half of your bottom hanging off the seat. Add comfy cushions to the seat, and there you have it, your DIY window nook.
Window Sill
Having a wide enough windowsill will allow you to add all your cozy décors to fit in your cozy nook! To create a windowsill or extend the one you already have, add a cute removable windowsill shelf to make room for your items.
Blankets & Pillows
When you think “cozy”, I’m sure blankets and pillows instantly come to mind. It reminds you of the warmth of your bed and evokes relaxation. Bring warmth to your cozy nook by adding mid-sized pillows and couch blankets and be prepared to fall asleep to the sight and sound of the rain.
Candles & Fairy Lights
Of course, you’d want to be very careful when adding this to your nook, but adding candles and fairy lights is the perfect way to create a relaxed ambiance. Candles and fairy lights practically make the warmth of the cozy nook with its subtle lighting and warm fire, and on a rainy fall day, it’s an even better feeling.
Books
Take a break from social media and bring a couple of books in your cozy nook. This is the best way to take in the full experience of the warmth and relaxation of the beautiful DIY nook you’ve created.
