Do you love nothing more than curling up and losing yourself in a good book? Or maybe you have an awkward space you wish to transform into something more? With the right comfy chair, soothing lighting and a few added elements, you can build the perfect reading nook. Nothing else can quite beat the feeling of creating a haven that is uniquely yours to relax in, so here are a few tips for maximizing your space:
- A cozy armchair is key: Whether you want a regal throne on which to elegantly peruse the classics, or you wish to create more of a homey feel with a armchair you can just sink right into, do not compromise on the chair of your choice. A good chair is the cornerstone of a reading nook, because if you construct that special space to relax in, you'll want to sit in it. Consider leather, which is the ultimate fabric for both character and comfort, and don't forget the ottoman because you need to be comfortable if you plan on turning plenty of pages.
- Lighting the way: If your eyes are straining to see the page, or you are too blinded by the intensity of the light, you will not want to hang out in your nook for long. Be sure to pick a lamp that provides the right amount of serenity to your space, without giving up the stylish design you undoubtedly crave.
- Don't forget the storage: Unless you're a speed reader or can dedicate a large chunk of time to conquering your latest tome, you'll probably need someplace to store it between reading sessions. Be sure to consider your nook's floor space and look for room to add some storage. End tables and bookcases come in many shapes, sizes and prices so it should be fairly easy to add a surface for you book, lamp, drink or anything you might need in your literary oasis.
- Add that pop of color: When you are curled up, you may want something soft and warm to curl up in. Hang a colorful throw over the back of your chair or bring in some colorful accent pillows to add that pop of color and comfort to complete your nook. All you need now is to crack open a good book and enjoy some quality rest and relaxation.
