Reading is an essential part of our everyday lives. From reading for information to reading for inspiration there are many ways in which reading improves our lives. At the end of the day a good book can enrich your life and brighten your mood. Creating a space that heightens your reading experience is a vital aspect that can affect your reading time.
The first step to creating the perfect reading nook would be to choose a suitable space. When choosing your space ensure that it is a tranquil space, with proper lighting to suit your reading needs. If you prefer reading during the day a space where you can obtain direct sunlight from may be ideal for you. On the contrary, if you’re more of a night owl and prefer to read at night then a side lamp, floor lamp or even a pendant light could be a great pick for you.
Upon choosing your reading space you may be wondering what’s next? After picking out the perfect spot for your reading nook you should consider the design and set up. You would need to consider options that offer you comfort without compromising on your reading experience. This can include seating arrangements, shelving, décor and the overall aesthetic that you would prefer to have your reading nook embody. A room divider is a great way to separate your reading corner from other areas or elements within your space.

When considering your seating arrangements, if you love to read before bed, to unwind after a long day or just for leisure you may consider getting yourself a single recliner for a more laid-back reading experience. Alternatively, you can opt for a combination of an occasional chair and a home-office desk if you prefer a more conventional set up. Both these options are great as they are adaptable and can be blended with other accessories to enhance their functionality.
Having a love for reading sometimes results in collections of books, books and more books…Books everywhere! Shelving units are a great means of storing and sorting all your most prized book collections, not only do they save you space but also make it easier to find your favourite reads.
A side table is an optimal way to complete your reading nook. Side tables are versatile and not only add to your décor, but can also be used to set your current reads on them when you need a breather or even to hold a snack tray for when you get the munchies. Your decoration is your creation, how you decorate your space says a lot about you and also sets the mood around you. Add a rejuvenating touch to your reading corner by incorporating ornaments, greenery, wall décor or even a clock! If you’d rather have a comfy and cosy corner instead, opt for a few scatter cushions and a rustic rug.
Your reading corner doesn’t have to be set in stone, you can make this your go to zone when you incorporate functionality and aesthetics. Enjoy a warm cup of tea on a cold winter night or an ice, cold cocktail on summer days. Whatever your choice this corner is ideal for you.
