An easy reading nook

By Shreya Bhimani

Style a bare corner with a simple chair, plush throws and warm carpet for a cosy reading nook

Turn a staid corner into a reading haven by adding a chair, lamp, and a side table comprised of books from your reading list.

You don’t need a separate study to have your own reading nook – a slim chair, sleek table and a stack of books that double up as a side table will do the trick.

Use lots of colourful textiles to make the corner come alive. Make sure they are plush for comfortable seating.

As book lovers, we’re always on the prowl for that cosy nook to curl up and read. And really, what else does a bibliophile need apart from an immersive book and a comfy corner? Pick out a nook that you like and demarcate the space with a multicoloured rug. Prop a sinkable armchair and pile it with a soft cushion and a bulky, colourful throw. For that soft lighting, use a floor lamp or a table lamp placed on a mid-length stool. Besides, who needs a shelf to store books when you can pile them up for your very own side table?
