Think about integrating some lighting for nook, but plan it before putting up the shelves and faux walls. Next, think about cozy pillows and blankets and decide on a color scheme.

The couch faces the fireplace and the view and really designates it as a special area, as does the fact that the space in enclosed on three sides. Yet the feeling remains airy and open with the help of the half wall and the large windows.
