NO WINDOW SEAT : CREATE A READING NOOK

 Everyone needs their spot to read, right? 

As a child, every book-nerd has dreamed of having a window seat. It would be the perfect place to curl up and read for hours, covered with the scent of old pages. 

Unfortunately, nobody lives in a Hollywood set or in a Carrie Bradshaw apartment. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t have your own, aesthetic reading nook! But because we want to be practical and realistic, you know that buying an entire bookstore and move-in is not a very approachable choice.

Luckily, I know a few ways that you can use and turn your bedroom into an ideal spot for a booklover without having to change the structure of your house. So grab a pile of your favourite books, a cosy blanket ( I love fall !!!), some other comfortable items and let’s get started, shall we? 

STEP 1: FIND THE RIGHT SPOT 

Reading nooks take very little space, and often an unused corner of your bedroom can be turned into a perfect reading spot. But make sure it will be like a natural extension of the room and not a separate section. Also, consider the amount of noise as well as the privacy it offers. 

STEP 2: COMFY AREA

Once you have found the perfect spot for you, you have to think about the seating you will include in your reading nook. First, consider the fact that you will be spending a lot of time there and despite the fact that everyone knows there is no perfect position to seat and enjoy a novel  ( trust me, I’ve tried everything !), it will be great to purchase a comfortable piece of furniture. 

You might love the more formal idea of a comfy chair along with a table and some bookshelves, while others prefer a more playful couch filled with quite a few throw pillows of your favourite book characters. It’s your spot after all! 

STEP 3: ADD SOME DECORATIVE LIGHTING 

You've need light to read, so why not add some pretty lights to your reading nook? Plus you can take awesome photos and post them on your IG and maybe use Pinterest for inspiration! 

STEP 4: CURL UP WITH A BLANKET 

In addition to pillows, every great reading nook has got to have a cosy blanket. And if you have the chance to get one with a book-inspired print, you should definitely grab this chance (a Harry Potter will be perfect ! ).

STEP 5: ADD A LITERARY-INSPIRED SCENT 

Lastly, no reading nook is complete without a fairy-scent candle ( during fall time, take and a mug of tea or coffee !).  

There are a lot of websites and shops where you can order packs of beautifully- smelling candles for every special reading nook! 

That's the post for today and I hope you will find helpful when you're setting up your own reading nook, now that fall is approaching (dancing excitedly!!!). 

Don't forget to leave me a comment or a picture of your own personalized spot !!

Xoxo,

Miss Reader.
