Create Your Very Own Reading Nook Today!
These tips will help you create your very own personalized reading nook.
Now this is one exciting task. It brings back childhood memories of building forts and playhouses. While you can read a book just about anywhere, from the busy streets of New York, or at a fancy coffee shop in LA, to a busy park in Anytown, USA. What could be more special than your very own built by you, reading nook?
A cozy little spot made just for you to enjoy one of your favorite past times. In order to be successful with this venture, you’ll need some handy tips, but no worries, we’ve got you covered.
First, find a quiet place in or around your home. Yes, you got that right, even outside. Imagine all the possibilities. One of the first things you’ll want to consider is your seating arrangement. You can get as fancy as you’d like here, from free.99 to expensive super comfortable chairs, lounges, benches and so on. Our top recommendation is the Chill Sack Bean Bag Chair, add extra foam. This item is super comfortable and versatile; check out the reviews. You can decorate it with soft cuddly pillows, a nice blanket or throw and your set!
Are you getting excited yet? I know that sounds nice already, but it gets even better!
Next, you’ll want to consider your lighting. There are so many fun options here, from string lights to cool lamps. But my absolute favorite option would have to be the Govee Smart Table Lamp. Why settle for just a soft, or bright white tone. When you can literally have 37 different dimmable scene modes with the portable Govee smart lamp. This way, you can set the mood, to fit your vibe. We’ve linked to it here for your convenience.
I hope you realize this list can go on and on forever. As I stated before, you can be as simple or as fancy as you’d like. However, for me, I’m a bit extra. I always like to go over the top with just about everything in life. So if you’re extra like me, you may also consider aromatherapy. My colleague Bella AKA (Isabella), linked to her favorite diffuser on our recommended products page. Another super important consideration is candles. Candles just make every space better. They come in amazing scents, but even if you’re going fragrance-free, they make any space extremely relaxing. With over 42,000 customer reviews, and a five-star rating. You can’t go wrong with these Lemongrass Eucalyptus scented candles from Chesapeake Bay. They have fantastic scents and even better prices, check out their collections and ratings here on Amazon.
Next, setup a bookshelf of some sort. Maybe a few good books, placed together with some bookends.
Lastly, we all know how we can often get all wrapped up in a great book. That’s why you’ll also want to consider refreshments. Keep a small basket of water bottles, snacks and other goodies that will keep you satisfied, so you can just sit, relax and enjoy your book.
