3 options to create your reading corner, depending on the available space

Surely in recent months you have caught yourself talking or commenting with friends that you need to get back into your reading habit, which has been affected by your new love of series or the hours you spend on social networks. 

Even if you occasionally read in bed or on the sofa, creating this space will help you to be more consistent and to resume your passion for books. Next, taking into account the square meters of your bedroom or living room, we are going to give you guidelines to create the perfect reading corner. 

Before we start talking about the three assumptions, the most important thing is to look for a space with plenty of natural light (near a window) and away from noise. Think about that corner of your house and take note of how to make it happen. 

A reading corner in less than 2 square meters

We start with the most complicated scenario, in this case, prioritize comfort above all else.  The best thing to do is to go for a small armchair. Choose minimalist designs, which take up little visual space. Here it would also be a great idea to place a bench under a window with cushions or a simple pouf with a rug. 

The shelf to organize the books should be half height, try to keep it as clear as possible and its width should not exceed 25 centimeters (enough space to leave the books). 

Finish the set with a beautiful cushion, a sconce for when the natural light goes out, a rug and some decoration to personalize the space such as a mural, a tapestry or a mirror.

At this point the space is greater and, to begin with, you can opt for a larger armchair or armchair . Look for and decide between classic designs in leather, natural fibers if you like the most Nordic decoration or design if you want something timeless. Next to it, don't forget to place a side table to leave the book or cup of tea. 

The lighting is basic, using floor or table lamps. Much better like a flexo, so that you wear it and don't get tired. 

By having more meters, try higher shelves , a plant to give life to the whole and never underestimate the importance of textiles. An ethnic-inspired or round rug , to delimit the space at a glance always works very well.

A reading nook when space is not an issue

Congratulations!  You are truly privileged and you will be able to enjoy the reading corner of your dreams. 

In addition to the armchair, you can afford a large shelf or even a display case where the books are more protected from dust.  Remember so that they do not seem too chaotic you must balance the books with empty spaces,  plants and small decorative objects on shelves. 

Near the main seat there is a side table and a basket to store textiles, of course a magazine rack can also be very practical to keep order. Accompany everything with a fluffy rug , cushions in soft tones to convey peace and a floor lamp that adds personality to the set.
