![]() ![]() So what are you waiting for? Grab the next book on your list, a cup of tea, and consider yourself warned: If you couldn't put that novel down before, good luck now. And, if you're feeling up to it a little more styling, don't be shy about adding art prints, and anything else that makes you feel at home. Mood lighting- scented candles, task lights, or string lights-also make the private space feel warm. Style your space with plenty of soft, plush textiles-think throw pillows and fuzzy or knit blankets. No matter which reading nook route you go, making it a comfortable place doesn't take much, either. For adults, a sophisticated leather armchair styled with easy-to-grow indoor plants or a colorful window seat do just the trick. For toddlers and kids, consider a simple floor cushion under a canopy, a fluffy blanket-lined tent, or even a DIY hammock. But some of the most inspiring reading corners are actually way less fussy. Sure, you can go the extravagant route, hiring a contractor to construct a built-in bench under the stairs or totally transform a closet into your own personal library. Creating a cozy reading nook in your bedroom, living room, or even an unused corner of your attic is easy. If your home lacks a spot that evokes those sorts of feelings, don't despair. These areas are comfortable and feel special-like they were put on this earth just for turning pages. These cute twin nooks carved out of the staircase leading to a downstairs playroom from Emily Henderson Design provide the perfect place for kids to hide out with a book. Though a true book lover could curl up just about anywhere for hours on end, there's a reason why certain spots-a hammock between two trees or a plush armchair beside the fire, for example-are ripe for reading.
