Conversation Room, Warm and Cozy for Winter

A couple of years ago I designed this small warm and cozy conversation room just off our dining room to enjoy with guests after dinner in the winter months.

Our home has an open floor plan here in Vermontand this space is really looking for something special.

Antique Pine Hutch

I found this pine hutch out Thrifting with the Gals this past winter, and it warmed up this conversation room perfectly. It also serves as a fantastic storage piece for dishwares, platters, etc.

I adore pine furniture, and you can usually find it affordably in second-hand shops or online.

Conversation Room Chairs

The chairs I chose for this conversation room are from Pier 1 Imports, which, unfortunately, their stores have since closed, but you can still shop their online store here.

The one thing I like about their chairs is their small size. It is perfect for a small sitting room area.

Many of the chairs made today are oversized and not necessarily fitting for a conversation space.

The Best Cozy White Rug

I looked at many rugs for the floor’s foundation in this conversation room area. And it was challenging, honestly! There are so many sizes and colors to choose from today.

To keep things neutral, warm, and cozy, I settled on this White Veronica Wool Braided 10′ x 10′ Area Rug made by Rugs USA.

I also have one in our sunroom, and I adore them both.

I do recommend these rugs for low-traffic rooms, however.

Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Ella, is on them fairly regularly, but the rooms are not used daily—just an FYI.

Warm and Cozy

As we head into Thanksgiving, a basket of cut evergreens from the backyard adds a bit of seasonal charm to our conversation space.

Conversation Room Curtains

The long window curtains are available here from Pottery Barn, along with the curtain rods.

The colors are perfect for the fall and winter months, and they are cozy and warm next to the vintage pine hutch.

Coffee Table

I found the round marble coffee table at a second-hand vintage shop in Vermont and painted the bottom white to match the warm and cozy conversation room.

    So bright and cozy!! Just beautiful! And of course, Ella adds so much love to every space!! ❤️❤️

  2. I always enjoy your bright, happy colorful spaces! Love the basket of green stems too. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

    1. Cindy thank you so much. I appreciate you so😘

  3. My living room will have to be my conversation space as I’m in an apartment. I love the concept so much and will be paring down to make the space seem more tranquil and receptive to conversation. Nice idea!! One suggestion…make the type in the comments section larger. It’s almost unreadable.

    1. Aww I love that, yes it’s been such a great space to have. Unfortunately I can’t change the type on the comments section. It’s standard with the theme🙌🏻

  4. This space is beautiful. I love making special little places in our home. This week, at our daughter’s home, we transformed a large walk-in closet in our granddaughters’ room into their reading nook. We eliminated over half of the clothing racks to make more space. Their bedroom is very large and each girl has a large dresser so much of their clothing will fit there. The two dressers are vintage mid-century modern pieces that our daughter actually got for free! She painted them both, and even sprayed the hardware gold. We placed 2 white bookcases and two reading chairs in the space. Our daughter wallpapered it, and is installing sconces for better lighting. It’s a quiet spot dedicated to read and relax.

    1. Thank you so much! Your redesign sounds amazing. Thanks so much for sharing😃
