Reading corner for book lovers

For an inveterate reader any place is suitable to carry out his greatest hobby, but if he has in his house a space reserved exclusively for reading and, in addition, that redoubt turns out to be cozy, practical and pleasant, then, without a doubt, that reader will be the happiest person on the face of the earth because, in that place, he can take possession of other worlds and live a thousand lives, and all this without leaving his own home. If at this point, you, the reader, are impatient to see the infinite possibilities that interior design offers us to recreate your particular paradise, read on because we are starting. Here is a list of the best ideas:

Armchairs and sofas

Essential to be comfortable with our book. An armchair or sofa accompanied by a footrest or ottoman, and a floor lamp to illuminate our reading. All this set is advisable to place it in a corner, if possible next to a window, a strategic place that allows us to be slightly apart from the rest of the room and have, at the same time, vision of everything that happens in it. They can be combined with plain or patterned cushions and leather blankets to give a warm touch. And as an extra touch, a rug to delimit the reading corner and mark the limits to the "non-readers".

Outdoor

If you have a terrace or patio at home, you certainly have a good area to create your reading corner. Whether in the summer shade or in the winter sun, good reading is guaranteed. To do this we recommend you to be accompanied by plants, which always help us to create a more natural and relaxing atmosphere. In addition, a good option to decorate the patio or terrace, is to use a hammock that gives us a special touch to the room. Although we can also use hanging benches (also with legs) and various cushions.

In window with window sill and cushions

Another option to create a reading corner is to take advantage of the window sill. We have seen it in many movies and we have always liked it, even if it is not for reading. Just create a wooden bench and arrange it with cushions to be more comfortable. In this way, we will be able to give a special touch to an apparently useless element. And if you have enough space, you can also put other decorative objects on the windowsill such as candles, plants and lamps, to recreate a more inspiring atmosphere.

We hope you liked the different options to decorate or create a reading corner and, if you have a space dedicated to reading in your home.
