How to Create the Perfect Reading Nook

Now, what’s a home without a reading nook, a place where you can curl up with a book and a cuppa. We know, reading time isn’t half as fun in the living room as it is in a cosy space with easy access to books. If you ask me there is nothing like a plush chair in a quiet corner or by a big window. Try some of our reading nook ideas to create the perfect reading space, you don't have to wonder how to make a reading nook anymore!

Bookshelf

This is the most obvious one. But, pick a bookshelf that is both pleasing to look at and easy to access. Also, if it is tall and has a few shelves beyond reach, place a stool. It helps you both sit and browse and climb up and access the top shelf.

Overhead lamp

A book nook needs to be well-lit. The last thing you want is strained eyes when reading in a space that is meant for reading. Invest in a good reading lamp and a powerful LED bulb. Invest well as it should fit in the décor of your home as well as provide quality light.

Comfortable seating

This depends on how you prefer to do your reading. Do you prefer a table and chair? A recliner? Or a day bed? Whichever one it is, make sure there is enough space to doze just in case you decide to, in between books. Here, again make sure that it doesn’t look out of place in your home and that it’s comfortable enough for you to spend hours in.

Cushions

Make your reading look good too,after all, that is what will make you feel good. Throw in some quirky cushions, they will brighten up the place and make you comfier. Cushions also help to add a bit of flair to your space.

An essentials table

Keep a small side table handy and stock it up with everything you might need and wouldn’t want to get up for. Think bookmarks, notepads, pens, coffee and a cookie jar, just in case hunger pangs strike in the thick of a plot.

If your current home doesn’t have the space you require for your ideal reading nook, don’t fret. Here at NoBroker we have 1000’s of homes for you to choose from. You can even view pictures of the homes to see that it meets your specifications. just click below to found out more.
