Curated Finds for Rachel: Building a Soft, Cozy Corner for Family Time

I think this rug is a great choice if you want to create a playful, lively space — full of color and character. With its cheerful pattern, it brings energy that can echo the yellow of your sofa and pick up on tones from the blue wall panel, helping to tie the room together. The 152 cm x 244 cm size is a smart fit for your space, and I’d suggest adding a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping.

If you want to create a calmer, more grounded feel in your spaceI consider this Nordic Knots rug. I believe the rich chestnut tone and the quality of their craftsmanship add warmth and cozy depth without overwhelming the room. The New Zealand wool makes it soft, durable, and perfect for everyday living — and the 170cm x 240cm size would sit comfortably in your layout.

I believe this Goop Luna Soft Teal rug is a smart choice if you want softness and practicality in one. Because it’s an all-in-one tufted rug, it feels cushioned underfoot and is easy to clean — you can throw it in the washing machine or spot-clean as needed. It also comes with a built-in pad, so there’s no need for a separate rug pad underneath.

I selected this Gustavian Sofa Side Table because its 25 cm width and 48 cm depth make it a beautifully proportioned choice beside your sofa, while still offering two useful surfaces. The dark wood finish will add warmth and sophistication to your room, and the dual-surface design gives you great styling or storage potential.

This Alera side table could work really well in your space — especially paired with a modern rug. A rich blend of leather, wood, and iron gives it a simple yet stylish look.
