I think a comfortable armchair is important to a comfortable space. And a chair is a great place to relax, have your coffee or tea, read etc. Add an accent table with one of the potted artificial foliage, and you have an area that says “Welcome”.
Tufted Upholstered Wide Back Armchair

This is certainly a “statement” pair, and bold colors are sometimes great for an inspiring space. This would be a great separate sitting area, or part of a hobby or craft room. Use your imagination.
Jakub Velvet Armchair

This chair has such unique shape and comes in so many colors. It should be easy to match it to your space. Great for a bedroom space as well. I love a comfy arm chair in an office space or bedroom, not just the living room.
Red Barrel Studio® Danae 30" W Tufted Linen Armchair & Reviews | Wayfair

This chaise lounge chair gives a new meaning to “put your feet up”.  A “happy place” is partly that way, because it's relaxing and calming. A chaise chair can do that for you I feel.
Pera Velvet Chaise Lounge

Another chaise chair option. A little on the pricey side, but it does look like royalty. There's just something about this style of chair that reallly brings the “regale” to any space. That alone is enough to make it a “happy place” worthy addition.

I grew up in a house where we had two custom made ottomans in the living room. It made that space more fun and was so versatile. I think it was one of the reasons why the living room was a great “hang out” spot for the whole family. It was certainly ...

I think that after the living room, the bedroom presents the most opportunities to create a happy place in your home. This vanity is another suggested addition.
