Sometimes there is nothing better than relaxing in the evening after a tiring day and immersing yourself in another world with a book in your hand. If you like reading, you definitely need peace and quiet and a relaxed environment. Unfortunately, not everyone has a separate reading room. We would like to introduce you to how you can design a reading corner and what it entails.
What does that include?
When planning the reading corner, the focus should be on having fun and enjoying using the facility. A reading room or a suitable space for it can be very small. Even 4-5 square meters can be enough. What does that include? The perfect reading place includes its own library. In the library, the books can be arranged according to an individual organization principle. You can attach colored dots, symbols or even numbers to the book cover and thus add a personal touch to your favorite book collection. Library cabinets, bookcases and built-in shelving systems are suitable for presenting and storing books - depending on the room situation and preferences.
A comfortable retreat for reading with seating niches
Create enough comfortable seating. Armchairs and sofas, lots of cushions or even a shaggy carpet are suitable for this.There is interesting reading furniturein a wide range - in the best design and at a cheap price. The walls of the reading room can also be designed thematically - for example with pictures and illustrations. The furnishing of the reading corner should radiate a positive atmosphere and contribute to well-being. Even in schools and kindergartens, the learning and play atmosphere is shaped by an appropriately designed room.
Furnishing ideas for curious bookworms or bookworms
After you have found a suitable space, think about drawer elements and storage options. Lighting is of great importance when designing a reading corner. If there is not enough daylight, you must provide good artificial lighting. A floor lamp with a movable joint is ideal for this.
What makes the reading corner a favorite place in the room and even in the entire apartment is the reading chair. It is the heart of the reading area and as such should please you above all. Outfitters and interior designers often resort to unusual pieces of furniture that are eye-catchers. An eye-catcher can be, for example, a rocking chair, wing chair or an ottoman. Depending on how you like to read and relax, the cozy corner for reading can be supplemented with a footstool and you can immerse yourself in a book with your legs stretched out.
Your own reading room – here are some ideas
If you are looking for an advantageous spot, it is close to the window. You can really benefit from the natural light throughout the day. In the evening and when there is not enough daylight, you obviously have to use artificial light. Since window space is often limited, a reading light is necessary. Height-adjustable floor lamps or clip-on lamps that can be easily and quickly attached anywhere are ideal for reading.
In addition to the comfortable reading chair, a small side table is always good to have on hand. You can put down your reading material there and put down a cup of tea or two. Scented candles create a cozy living atmosphere and also transform the reading corner into a real oasis of well-being.
Wall design with abstract images coordinated with the home textiles
In addition to comfortable seating, cushions and a cozy blanket ensure a high level of comfort when sitting on the reading chair. Soft home textiles are also beautiful decorative elements that create an individual touch and an inviting atmosphere. Of course, they should be chosen in color and to match the style of living and be in connection with the rest of the room design.
