7. The Oversized Floor Cushion & Macrame Alcove
A relaxed, bohemian-inspired layout that champions floor living, this corner is designed for stretching out completely, making it ideal for casual afternoon reading sessions and ultimate physical relaxation.
- How to Make It: Layer two oversized, square floor cushions upholstered in heavy woven cotton canvas directly in the corner. Mount a large, intricate handmade macrame wall hanging on the wall above the cushion stack to add rich vertical texture. Hang a trio of amber glass propagation jars or woven pendant lights from a ceiling hook overhead to cast a warm, mottled glow.
- Tips and Variations: Substitute the canvas cushions with a stack of authentic Moroccan leather poufs (pouffes) for a warmer, richer texture that develops a gorgeous patina over time.
- Elements Needed: Oversized floor cushions, macrame wall hanging, amber glass lighting accents, Moroccan leather poufs.
