A cosy reading corner is the most desired dream of the book lovers for whom reading is a real hobby.
At home, we used to read at many different ways and places: in bed, curled up in a couch, in the bath or sitting at the desk. These are most often ad-hoc solutions, but whatever size of home we have, we can easily implement a separate oasis for our most favourable activity.
If there is a cosy bay window, that could be an ideal place for a built-in bench. Additional storing place also can be gained such a way. With a harder sitting cushion and some soft cushions for the back – covered by a textile fitting to the style of the home – can result a place where we can read at natural light.
We also can purchase a big and comfortable armchair for this purpose, it can be placed e.g. near the fireplace or in a corner. It should be large enough to let us changing our position in it. Extended with a footrest, an additional cushion and a standing lamp, it can be even more comfortable.
Informal style and location can be solved by using three or four sitting cushions on the floor, which can be moved wherever in the flat. Cover large, at least 60×60 cm cushions with your favourite fabric. Placing them near each-other, we can read in laying position, but placed vertically they provide cosy sitting facility.
If we like to read outdoor and we have a balcony or terrace, a deck chair or rocking chair can be put out there, completed with a blanket and a cushion. If there is also a garden, a bench can be placed under an arbor or a larger tree, where we can read surrounded by flowers, enjoying the scents and the silence.
If you love to read at home as relaxing, but because of the dimension or features of your home, you have no idea to realize a reading corner, ask help from an interior designer.
