Create Your Own DIY Reading Nook
Soft lighting. Plush blankets. A book you can’t put down. Is there anything better than escaping for an hour (or an afternoon) with a great story? Let’s make it even easier, and even more tempting, by creating a designated space for lounging – your very own DIY reading nook!
Start by finding a corner in your home where you can set up a cozy, comfortable space. Think outside the box and consider unused corners in unexpected places, such as the dining room, guest bedroom or home office. Once you’ve chosen your “nook”, you can assemble all of the must-have reading essentials. First, choose your seating. You can opt for a traditional armchair, or try an “adult” beanbag, chaise or trendy swivel. Next, add a few soft, textured blankets and equally soft throw pillows. Finally, add in some decorative touches to your nook. We love adding greenery, such as a hanging plant, and a gently fragrant candle. Pro tip: set up near an outlet for chargers and lamps!
- Choose an unused corner of your home to designate as a reading space
