As any avid reader knows, finding the perfect reading nook is essential for enjoying your favourite books. Whether it’s curled up in a cozy armchair with a cup of tea, or stretched out in a sunny spot in the backyard, having a place to escape into your book is necessary.
But beyond just being comfortable, your reading nook should also be inviting, comfortable, and inspiring. After all, it’s where you’ll be spending many hours lost in your latest literary adventure.
Reading books is a staple of any curious person’s life. It gives you the opportunity to explore, meet new people, and learn about things you never knew existed. 
Reading gives you the opportunity to wander and discover, and there is no limit to where. Not only can you explore different cultures, but it’s a great way to meet new people.
You can always start a conversation with a stranger that has similar interests as you. Reading allows you to get insight into things you never realized existed.
Unfortunately, it’s not usually quite that simple and unless your home was designed with a reading nook, you need to get inventive.
Sometimes we just have to settle for a comfortable sofa and a good reading light. At other times, we can co-opt or convert another space to achieve the desired result.
What makes a perfect reading nook?
Lighting
If you’re looking to create a cozy reading nook, good lighting is key. Make sure to choose a spot that gets plenty of natural light during the day. Then, add a lamp for evening reading.
Good lighting will make a reading nook perfect. Make sure you have a light source that is bright enough to read by, but not so bright that it will be jarring or cause eye strain. A lamp with a dimmer switch is ideal, so you can adjust the light level to suit your needs.
Comfortable chair or sofa
When creating a reading nook, it is important to choose comfortable furniture that will allow you to relax and enjoy your books.
A chair or sofa with plenty of cushions is a perfect option, and you can further improve your experience by adding a footrest or ottoman. Remember to choose a spot with minimal distractions to get the most out of your reading time.
Comfortable blankets
One simple way to make your reading nooks cozier and inviting is to add a comfortable blanket. This will not only provide extra warmth on chilly days, but it will also make your reading area more inviting and comfortable.
By adding a few simple touches like a cozy blanket, you can turn your reading nooks into the perfect spot to curl up with a good book.
Books Storage
When it comes to storing your books, it is important to find a solution that is both easily accessible and suits your needs.
Whether that means shelves upon shelves of hardbacks, a cozy nook for your favourite reads, or a simple bookcase to keep things tidy, make sure your storage reflects how and why you like to read.
This way, you can be sure to always have your favourite books on hand, and can easily grab them whenever you want to curl up with a good read.
