Our top tips for creating your own designated reading space
Select the perfect location
Find a quiet and comfortable spot within your home, away from distractions, where family members can escape into the world of books. Consider unused corners, window alcoves, or wasted spaces that can be repurposed into an inviting reading nook.
Ensure to include comfortable seating
Choose soft and inviting seating options such as large comfortable cushions, colourful bean bags, or melt-in-to arm chairs with the addition of soft blankets. The goal is to create a cosy environment where everyone can relax and lose themselves in the pages of their favourite stories.
Go for soft lighting
Install soft, ambient lighting to create a warm and inviting atmosphere in the reading area. Floor lamps, string lights, or dimmable fixtures can provide gentle illumination that encourages everyone to settle in and enjoy their reading time.
Stock up on books
Fill your reading area with a diverse selection of books that cater to different interests and reading levels. Consider including classics, novels, magazines, and educational materials to cater to the varied tastes of family members.
Personalise the space
Encourage everyone to personalise the reading nook with artwork, favourite quotes, or decorations that reflect their unique personalities. Adding personal touches will make the space feel special and inviting for everyone.
Establish a reading routine
Set aside dedicated time each day for reading, whether it’s before bedtime, after work, or during quiet weekend mornings. Establishing a regular reading routine will make reading a cherished part of your family’s daily life.
