There’s something so enticing about cute little nooks and snugs for reading, eating and napping. These secret snugs can be tucked away around a corner or carved out of a niche or unused closet space (if there is such a thing).
Bed alcoves have long been used as a way to keep inhabitants warm in the days before central heating.
