Keep your books close by on a bookshelf
Display all your favorite books on a bookshelf within reach. Go for a beautiful vintage style shelf or a more simple one, which allow your books to be the center of attention. Arrange your books in a way that makes sense to you. You could colour coordinate, sort alphabetically, or by author. Don’t be afraid to add decor elements such as plants, vases or framed pictures to your bookshelf. This adds a little bit of personality and style.
Comfortable seating area
If you’re wanting to create the perfect cozy reading nook, you are going to need comfortable seating. Choose a comfortable chair that you can sit in for hours. Alternatively you could go for a love seat or a bench with soft cusions. The options are endless, but comfort is the ultimate goal.
A good lamp is a must!
Lighting is super important when reading. In order to stay comfortable for a long stretch of reading, you are going to need a good lighting source. A lamp mounted in the wall or a floor lamp are both great alternatives for a cozy reading nook. Here are some ideas:
