Determine the location of the reading nook
First decide where you want to place a comfortable reading nook for your child. The most popular ideas are corners of the living room, bedroom or family room. The reason for choosing a corner rather than a large space is because it’s better to choose a part of the room that has the potential to feel a bit secluded. Apart from reading requiring a comfortable atmosphere, this area must also be quiet and far from noise.
Furniture
Furniture is an important element for a comfortable children’s reading corner. It usually includes a comfortable chair or lounger, a side table or ottoman, and possibly a bookshelf. Since reading corners are usually small, multifunctional furniture is an ideal choice. There are many combinations to consider such as a bench with storage underneath, a desk with a bookshelf or even a custom reading chair with built-in storage.
Lighting
Lighting is always the main thing and plays a special role in a reading corner, which is why you should choose a place close to a window if possible. In addition to natural lighting, you should also have enough reading lights so that a floor lamp seems like a good choice. If the room is too small or you don’t want to use a floor lamp, consider getting a chandelier or table lamp. To further emphasize the Christmas atmosphere, also equip it with fairy lights or if you use a Christmas tree, the lighting from the tree will feel more cozy.
Accessories
So that the child feels more at home and the reading corner feels really cozy, you should also add some accent details such as some comfortable pillows, blankets, children’s bookshelves, and Christmas ornaments. Any accessories that your kid likes and that suit his style can be used. So, make it as comfortable as possible and enjoy spending time there.
