Create your Dream Reading Nook

Posted on - 15th February 2021

We’re all spending more time at home at the moment, and particularly if you’re working from home, finding a spot in the home where you can properly unwind and take half an hour for yourself can prove difficult. 

Enter the humble reading nook! A simple reading nook can provide you with a space away from the madness of everyday life, and they’re not just for reading! You can settle into your reading nook to read a few chapters of a good book, flick through a magazine, listen to a podcast, or simply to meditate and switch off for a while. 

So, if you’re thinking of putting together your perfect reading nook, read on for our top tips to help you do just that...

 

Pick the perfect spot 

Ideally your reading nook will provide a place where you can really unwind and switch off from the day, so it’s important to consider the area of your home where your reading nook will go. If you’re working from home, make sure that your reading nook sits in a room that you don’t usually use during the day, it will be difficult to switch off if your nook is next to your home office! 

If possible, pick a corner of a room that’s rarely used on an average work day, and is in a quiet part of your home. 

 

Make it a place you love to be!

Once you’ve chosen the perfect spot, then the fun begins! Make your reading nook a comfortable, beautiful place that you’ll look forward to visiting! 

Start with a beautiful chair or small sofa, and perhaps a bookshelf, and add cushions, throws, fairy lights or a reading light, and make it both a practical and comfortable space that perfectly suits your style.
