Inspiring ideas to create a beautiful, cozy & relaxing reading space.
There’s little I love more than curling up with a great book. Whether for 10 minutes or hours on end, reading is my very favourite way to kick back and relax.
Sometimes, all you need in life is a comfy chair and a great book…
Here are my top five ways to create a peaceful & cozy reading nook in your home.
one. Choose a quiet spot in your home.
I set aside a quiet little corner in the only room in our home that’s entirely my own – my office space. Tucked away from the busiest areas of our home, with all sorts of sunlight pouring in, this little corner was the perfect spot to create a cozy little reading nook.
two. Add somewhere comfortable to sit.
Because what would a reading nook be without a comfy spot to sink into. I absolutely adore this Hancock Park Arm Chair from The Brick – the timeless design fits my farmhouse style perfectly and it’s SO cozy to curl up in!
three. Work in a bit of storage.
Obviously, you’ll need somewhere to set you wine. #kiddingnotkidding You’ll definitely want to create a spot to lay your book, set a drink and light a candle.
four. Add some light to read by.
A must for any reading area, a lamp is the perfect way to bring some personality and function to your reading nook.
five. Cozy it up as much as you can.
A cozy throw blanket and soft pillow (find mine here) will make this the perfect spot to curl up.
HUGE thanks to our friends at The Brick for sponsoring this makeover and making it so darn easy to recommend their beautiful furniture!

Have to pin it. I love a nice reading spot. Your home is so lovely! I just hung a hammock swing to sit and read in and love it.
