I've just started re-reading The Fellowship of the Ring for the zillionth time. I love Tolkien- I'm a big big nerd for it. I'm trying to allow myself a little time every evening to just relax and read. Remember that green vintage settee I bought before Christmas? It's my favorite little reading nook. We have it kitty cornered and tucked under the eaves in the master bedroom. Just a little side table and a reading lamp. It's fabulous, though I do wish there was an ottoman as well.
Reading nooks take up very little space, and are like a little vacation spot in your home. They're a place where you can go, shut the world out, and relax just a bit. All it really takes is a chair/couch/daybed/window seat, and a little lamp table if you're feeling exceptionally ambitious. Everyone should have a reading nook.
Here are some of my favorites:
 |
| Gorgeous and obviously comfy, this may be the ultimate reading nook. If I'm not mistaken, that's a view of the ocean out that window. How lovely. |
 |
| Taking advantage of the beautiful architectural detail of the antique house, this nook is tucked into a huge bay window. The mid century mod furniture balances the formality of the space. |
 |
| ooooo. Remember summer? I barely do. It seems like it'll never come again. Look at this fantastic outdoor reading spot. So romantic. |
 |
| This little reading nook is tucked into it's very own room with doors and all. It's pretty enough with the doors open, but I do wonder if it would be a little claustrophobic with the doors shut. |
 |
| Vintage industrial is such a great look. This handsome reading nook has a day bed and pillows, making it also functional as a napping spot. |
 |
| Just a handsome armchair in a corner- this is the bare basic reading nook, but the detail makes it beautiful all the same. |
 |
| Eclectic and retro, this reading nook has a handsome hanging lamp, candles, and lots of fresh plants. Really the whole space is awesome. |
