Do-it-yourself reading corner

A reading corner can be set up in the living room, the bedroom or, why not, the kitchen. You can choose any room in the house for this idea, such as a small niche in the bedroom or a relatively large passageway. Alternatively, you can decide to set up your reading corner in the bathroom, study or large kitchen.

Once you have identified the space to be used as a reading corner, you can proceed with the complete furnishing.

How to furnish a reading corner

In order to create a reading corner in your home, the first thing to do is to buy a comfortable, soft and relaxing seat: the seat should promote physical and mental wellbeing.

For a reading corner you can opt for the choice of an armchair with pouf or alternatively a simple chair with a reading shelf or console table, so as to create a more informal reading corner.

The choice of the right seat represents an aspect of fundamental importance for the creation of an environment as welcoming and relaxing as possible.

Another extremely important element for the creation of a reading corner in your home is represented by the study and choice of lighting: this must necessarily be able to enhance the environment, as well as being functional to reading.

To create the right harmony it would be advisable to place the seat next to a window, so as to make the most of natural light. Artificial light, on the other hand, should be direct but not too intense, so as not to tire the eyes too quickly during the reading phase. In this regard, our advice is to opt for the purchase and preparation of a table lamp, or even a floor or wall lamp (possibly equipped with a swivel arm, so as to precisely control the angle of the light, depending on the position you take and your needs).

At this point all you have to do is choose a coffee table, so that you can place your books or a table lamp or abat-jour on its surface. When choosing the most suitable coffee table for your needs, you will have to pay particular attention to its height: choose a height that allows you to move around comfortably. You can also opt for a coffee table with shelves underneath, or with wheels that allow you to move around easily.
