Tips for Creating the Perfect Reading Corner in the Bedroom

How to Create a Reading Corner in the Bedroom

Pinterest Quiet and Peace

For comfortable and productive reading, it's very important to have a space free of noise and unwanted sounds.

Therefore, it's preferable to place the reading corner at the far end of the room, away from the door, where sounds of conversations or TV in the living room don't interfere.

Day and Night Lighting

You can't imagine a reading corner in the bedroom without good lighting. During the day, natural light is best. It's best to place the reading corner by a window.

At night, it is important to have an artificial light source. Ceiling lamps are perfect for this purpose, as they direct the light exactly where it's needed.

Chairs, Footstools and Pillows

A reading corner in the bedroom should also be cozy and comfortable, right? So you can't do without armchairs to provide proper support for the back and neck. A side table will be useful for your feet so you can stretch out and relax even more.

If the idea is to create a reading corner in a child's bedroom, you can choose pillows that will make the child feel even more relaxed and comfortable. A futon is also a good option in this case. It's especially useful for small rooms where there isn't enough space for a chair.

Blanket for Warmth

A cold day, a great place to read a book... but for real comfort, you need a blanket. Always keep it near the chair or folded in a basket next to it.

Woolen or knitted blankets are very cozy, while microfiber ones are light and come in many colors and prints to choose from.

Side Table

How can a reading corner in the bedroom exist without a side table? This small and simple furniture is almost indispensable when reading.

You can put glasses, a cup of tea or even a glass of wine on it. Place it next to the chair. The side table also helps define where to place a lamp.

Cozy Rug

Another element that significantly contributes to the feeling of comfort and well-being in a reading corner in the bedroom is a rug.

It warms and provides comfort for your feet. In the case of a reading corner in a child's room, the rug can be used by the child to sit and feel comfortable.

Shelves, Niches or Wardrobes

A reading corner needs books, right? So where to store them? The first tip is to invest in shelves. They organize the space, help with decoration and are perfect for small rooms since they save floor space. In addition to shelves, niches can be used which perform almost the same function as shelves.

But if you want to store books hidden and not visible, then use upper or floor-standing wardrobes depending on the available space.

Decorating the Reading Corner

Certainly, you can and should decorate and personalize the reading corner.

For this, use paintings or posters related to the room's theme, plants and various pillows, as well as other small items that will make the reading corner even more special.
