Get Cozy This Winter: Creating the Perfect Hideaway

As the evenings draw in and the air begins to carry a crisp edge, there’s something deeply inviting about crafting a snug corner, a little cocoon of comfort where you can curl up, unwind, and fully embrace the spirit of hygge. This season, let’s lean into that sense of calm by building a warm and welcoming hideaway using a luxurious adult bean bag, a dedicated kids’ seating spot, a bean bag armchair for extra lounging, and a sherpa blanket for that cloud-soft finish.

Begin with your anchor seat: the adult bean bag

Start by choosing a substantial, comfortable base for your retreat. The Lounge Pug Highback Bean Bag is a brilliant pick for this. Its high-back design cradles your spine and offers an ergonomic shape that easily adapts; sit upright to read, lean back to relax, or sprawl out for a nap.

Its plush cord fabric is snug under you and treated for stain resistance, making it practical as well as inviting.

Position this near a window or beside a radiator (if you have one) so you’re surrounded by soft daylight or the warm glow of indoor lighting. With that as your focal point, everything else flows around it.

Add a comfy companion seat: the bean bag armchair

Next up: a stylish armchair bean bag to bring in another layer of loungability. The Josephine Bean Bag Armchair does exactly that—an adult-sized armchair-style bean bag with a rich, ultra-plush cord finish that invites lingering.

This spot becomes perfect for when you want to settle with a blanket and a cuppa, perhaps opposite your main bean bag, so you can share the space with someone (or simply have another cosy corner to shift into).

Together: the adult bean bag, the bean bag armchair, your hideaway now has two distinct zones of enveloping comfort.

Layer in texture with a sherpa blanket

Now we bring in the accessory that makes the space feel hug-worthy: the Sherpa Throw Blanket. This blanket features a plush side and a soft faux-sherpa reverse that’s perfect for snuggling up when the temperature drops.

Drape it over your armchair or keep it folded nearby so it’s within reach when you settle into your seat. The navy tone blends beautifully with winter palettes, deep greens, rich corduroys, and warm neutrals, so it fits your bean bag seating perfectly.

When you sink in, throw the blanket over your lap, and let the fabric do its work, it’s the tactile touch that converts a nice chair into a true hideaway.

Invite others: build a shared space with kids chairs & a sofa-sized bean bag

If you’re designing this hideaway for more than one person (or for cosy family-time), then adding a larger bean bag sofa gives you space to stretch out together. The Mega Mammoth Bean Bag Sofa is ideal, it’s generous, plush, and invites multiple people to lounge.

You already have the adult bean bag & armchair, now the sofa bean bag allows for communal comfort, kids, partners, friends can join in. The oversized scale makes the entire zone feel like one big soft hug.

Oh, and if you’ve got actual kids chairs in your hideaway plan (smaller bean bag chairs for little ones), you’re further extending the cosy inclusiveness—everyone gets their seat, and everyone feels welcome.

Set the lighting & ambience for fall + winter

With furniture and texture in place, it’s time to curate the mood. Warm lighting is key—think a soft side lamp or fairy lights, rather than harsh ceiling light. Aim for warm-white bulbs (around 2700K) and perhaps use a small accent table next to your adult bean bag for your drink and a book.

Arrange your seating so the adult bean bag faces the room, the armchair is slightly angled, and the sofa bean bag is nearby—this creates a natural “nest” of comfort.

Add a low-pile rug or a faux-fur floor throw underfoot so your toes land on softness when you rise. Instant comfort boost.

Choose fabrics & colours that echo the season

Now let’s get intentional with texture and colour. For winter:

• Go for cord or ultra-plush finishes (both of which your bean bags and blanket have) for that tactile wow.

• Pick colours like forest green (for the Highback), peach (for the armchair), sable (for the sofa), and navy (for the blanket)—rich and grounded tones that mirror winter leaves, dusky evenings, warm hearths.

• Use throws and cushions in accent hues—rust, mustard, dusty rose—to bring just a whisper of seasonal change.
  The combination of soft upholstery, tactile blankets, layered cushions: that’s what makes a space feel enveloping.

Add the finishing touches

Finally, the little details transform your seating area into a genuine hideaway:

• Place a tray with a warm drink (maybe spiced tea or hot chocolate) on your side table.

• A scented candle or diffuser (notes of woodsmoke, cinnamon, amber) adds scent as comfort.

• Have a stack of favourite books or a Kindle ready for that moment you sink in.

• Scatter a couple of floor cushions or a footstool for stretching out.

• For the sofa bean bag: encourage blankets and pillows on it too—make it “soft furnished” so it invites lounging sideways, next to someone.

• If children are in the mix: their own bean bag or chair nearby, a small basket of plush toys or books, and everyone has their place and feels part of the drift.

To wrap up, as the weather cools and the world outside demands jackets and boots, your inside hideaway becomes the sanctuary. With the adult bean bag, the bean bag armchair, the sofa-sized bean bag, and the sherpa blanket you’re building a retreat that’s soft, inviting and deeply cosy. Layer in warm lighting, winter textures and welcoming extras—and you’ll have a space that doesn’t just look comfortable, it feels like a hug.
