Reading Corner Ideas - 10 Best Reading Nook Design Ideas in 2019
Are you one to stay home on a Saturday night with your face buried in a book, bundled up in a warm blanket with a hot cup of cocoa? Then you need to treat yourself a little by carving a reading space out for you. A sanctuary of sorts.
Here’s a list of reading nook ideas of 2019, that you might want to incorporate in your living room design ideas.
1. Go wild with pattern
If you’re one who doesn’t shy away from experimenting and has been toying with the idea of having a part of your living room done up with wallpaper; incorporating it in the reading nook will turn out just fine. Wallpaper on all four walls can make the living room a bit overwhelming, so start small in the cost nook and add some character to it.
2. Jewel stones
Opt for the road less taken with regards to decorating your reading corner. You can make it look swanky and chic by adding some loose jewel stones and unique looking jewellery to give the area an edge.
3. Blue and White
How about going for a coloured theme for the corner? The first set of colours that’d come to your mind would be black and white but lets me assure you, that that’s very 2018. Go in for something more refreshing and on the line of blue and white. Add some cool tones to your reading nook with this colour and make the spot in the living room look cosy.
4. Light is a must
Light is the eminent element when it comes to developing a corner for you, your books and a hot cup of Joe. So let there be light so that you can read with ease! White walls, light coloured love seat or sofa with cushions, a table lamp on a coffee table or a floor lamps works just fine for starters. It’s even better if the reading corner is by the window for tonnes of natural light.
5. Retro twist
Orange you glad I brought that up? Ditch the modern and minimalistic reading nook for something with more of a personality like a retro-styled books corner. Add a bowl-shaped chair, have warm bright coloured walls on the lines of yellow and orange; and add a lava lamp for décor’s sake. Because why not?
This is one of those unconventional interior design ideas that you will not regret.
6. Seat by the window.
A reading nook right out of a movie or a fairy tale is a sofa or sitting area adjacent to the wall. You can daydream and divulge yourself with ease into a book if you have a view to complementing it.
7. Swanky much?
If you want to take things up a notch and go in for something more sophisticated, add a modern chair, a floor lamp hovering over it, a sleek bookshelf at the back and a small coffee table with hardcover books on it for decoration. This reading pad will have a sex appeal like no other.
8. Hang in there
Speaking of stepping out of one’s comfort zone, how about suspending a swing chair from the ceiling? Let that boho in you out and give your reading nook a boho chic look.
9. Hello darkness my old friend
Are you a private person who likes to keep their nose buried in a book, rather than have it stuck in other people’s business? Yes? I’ve got your back. Have the wall of your reading nook painted a dark-toned colour, pile up your books on an open shelf and place a leather chair for you to slouch on. There! A masterpiece.
10. Closet turned reading hole
Do you have an empty closet and would like to put it to good use? All you have to do it add a bed confining to all its sides and stack up your books in one corner. The best part about it all? You can shut the door for privacy.
There’s a reading nook design idea here that’ll appeal to every type of reader. All you have to do is find your calling.
