How to create a cosy reading nook!

Having a cosy reading nook is a great way to optimize your space and add good vibes to your room. It’s a place where you can forget all your stress, unwind and do a little dreaming.

To start with there is no such thing as a perfect reading place, one doesn’t require a lot of space and an ideal reading spot can be any random empty corner of your room. One should keep in mind the function of the space and create vibes to relax and unwind.

So let’s get started by creating our version of a cosy reading nook.

Tip 1: PICK A LOCATION

Choose a corner in the room that resonates with you to create your own zone and to have a cosy feel. It would be better if you have it near your bookshelf as grabbing a book is quick and helps in developing a reading habit.

Tip 2 : SELECT FURNITURE

Choose a comfortable seating for yourself, I have chosen a couch where one can sink into the book and also enjoy the company of two if someone decides to join in. Pile up the couch with pillows to cushion yourself and also to provide back support while reading. Add a throw for ultra-warm fuzzes.

Tip 3: HAVE COLOR PALETTE

Create a space of your own by popping some cushions to add color and to have a cheerful zone. Add an accent cushion to make a statement. This zone also acts as a spot for all the unwinding and all the recharging you need!

Tip 4: ADD SUPPORTIVE FURNITURE

Imagine having your favorite book with a cuppa on a relaxed night and then you have no place to keep your cup. One should have a side table to hold your beverage, for piling extra books while you are deep into reading your favorite book.

Add in some indoor plants like rubber, peace lily plants to create fresh energies, and for being close to nature effect. Adding lush greens have a calming and comforting feel on the mind which further helps in relaxing.

Tip 6: LIGHT WILL GUIDE YOU

An ideal space should include a window for reading by the daylight and have a nice lamp for the night that shines like natural daylight. This bright spot during the day with a view helps in keeping one focused and the ambient light by the lamp sets the mood at night.

Tip 7: USE THE FLOOR

Your reading nook is incomplete without a rug, so put down your feet on a comfortable rug and enjoy. Choose a rug that provides a contrast to the overall theme and binds the whole space together.
