Every home has that one space with untapped potential—a corner that could become a sanctuary. For Sarah, that space was her bay window, a spot that had long been a catch-all for random items. With a vision for transformation and the right pieces from Derrick Details, Sarah turned this overlooked area into a cozy reading nook that now serves as her personal retreat.

The Vision

Sarah had always dreamed of having a dedicated space for her morning coffee and evening reads. "I wanted a nook that felt both luxurious and inviting, a place where I could unwind and escape," she explains. With Derrick Details' curated collection, she found the perfect blend of style and functionality.

The Transformation

The transformation began with the Umbra Magino Table + Stool, a sleek piece that offers both seating and a surface for books and beverages. Its transparent design adds a modern touch without overwhelming the space. 

Next, Sarah chose the Eros Lounge Chair, known for its comfort and elegant lines. Paired with the Zantira Throw and a plush white Roland Pillow, the chair became the focal point of the nook, inviting anyone to sit and relax.

To enhance the ambiance, Sarah added the Calpe Wood Table Lamp in natural finish, providing warm, soft lighting perfect for reading. The Valleton Large Planter in White brought a touch of nature indoors, completing the transformation with its clean lines and lush greenery.
