Tips to Create the Perfect Reading Nook in Your HouseTips to Create the Perfect Reading Nook in Your House

There’s nothing better after a long day than cuddling up in a cozy spot in a Dilworth home for sale with a good book! Whether you have oodles of extra space or seem to be missing some much needed square footage, creating a reading area is simple and possible. Read this article for tips to create the perfect reading nook in your house.

Comfortable Seating and Quality Lighting

If you have a big family and are using all of the space in a home for sale in Eastover, don’t fret. The bare bones of a reading nook consists of a big comfortable chair and adequate lighting. Remember to have plenty of pillows and blankets on hand to make it extra cushy.

If possible, choose a spot with exposure to natural light that can be harnessed during the day. Add a lamp or two for evening reads!

Embrace Awkward Spaces

Oftentimes, the areas that seem the most awkward make the best reading spots. For example, an attic or an under-the-stairs storage space can be easily be turned into a unique and fun get-away.

A loft area is a beautiful place to set up a child’s reading nook complete with shelving for books, floor lamps and decorative cushions.

Add a Sheer Canopy

When you find that perfect corner in a Marvin house for sale, add a sheer canopy and a soft lantern for a magical touch. This nook often feels like a cave, and is always loved by kids! Best  of all, you just need a small unused corner to make this happen.

Outdoor Reading Nooks

If you just can’t scrap up the space, consider an outdoor reading area. Adding a covered bench is a classic and beautiful addition to any garden! Being surrounded by trees and gorgeous flowers will only enhance your reading experience.

I am a big reader, and love the idea of creating a special reading nook.
