Create a Cosy Reading Corner This Winter

As an avid reader, there’s something so comforting about having a dedicated space to curl up and read a good book in. Somewhere you can sit back, relax, and get lost in the pages of a world far, far away. And especially as the colder weather hits, nothing beats the feeling of wrapping yourself up in a warm blanket while candlelight flickers and the night settles in around you. 🕯️📖

Having a whole library room is an absolute dream many of us have, but if you’re short on space rest assured you don’t need a huge area or a built-in window seat to make a cosy reading nook. All you need is a small corner, a comfy chair, and a few finishing touches. ✨

Cushions

Adding not just comfort to support you when binge-reading for hours on end, cushions are a small addition that can make a big impact to the aesthetic of your space. Whether you choose a pop of colour or muted, mellow tones, you can easily set the vibe you’ve been dreaming of.

Blankets

Warm and welcoming, blankets will plump up your reading corner and make it an inviting space. Like a loving hug, you can melt into them after a long day and snuggle up in your safe place. They’re the perfect companion when indulging in your wintry reads this season!

Candles

Add a few candles to your book nook and watch how their soft glow and lingering aromas instantly shift the mood. Suddenly, your corner feels warmer and calmer, becoming a snug sanctuary you’ll never want to leave.

Lamps

Whether you choose a dainty table lamp or a tall standing lamp, warm lighting is a must to ensure you can read comfortably late into the night.

Tealight Holders

Charming and decorative, tealight holders let you level up your candle game. Placed atop your bookshelves or side table, they create the perfect reading ambience.
