That cold corner risks becoming a condensation point and so developing mold.

It doesn't though. The relative humidity at 70°F is only 30-35% with the humidifier running full blast. Because it's often 7-15% without the humidifier. Because the air coming through the window is bone dry.

The problem in the winter here is keeping enough humidity in the air. It would be nice if I ever had to worry about condensation. ;)
