Sometimes your cat just wants a soft, quiet spot away from the chaos. A corner cat bed nook gives them exactly that—without messing up your home’s vibe.
How to Make It
- Pick a soft, comfy cat bed (round beds usually work best for snuggling)
- Place it in a quiet, low-traffic corner, ideally near a window for sunlight
- Add a mini table or crate beside it with a plant or photo for a lived-in look
- Optional: hang a small shelf or wall art above to make the space look styled

- Look for one with scratching posts, hidey holes, and at least 2–3 levels
- Place it in a sunny corner so your cat can bird-watch or nap in the light
- Sprinkle catnip or treats on the platforms to draw your cat’s attention
