I love to read, don’t you? What better way to enjoy a good book than to create your own reading nook? Tucked away nicely in a corner of your home!

This is how I envision mine. I would start off buy purchasing the Petrie Chair. I love the modern, clean lines paired with a classic tufted back. This chair is so versatile – it matches almost any decor.

The Geobloom Rug (at the bottom), from CB2 packs a punch of bright colour. I feel as though this green is perfect for the summer months, but it is also neutral enough to go with autumn colours, Christmas decor, and right into spring!

Mixed metals are perfect for the accessories and shelf unit. The table lamp and bunny book ends add a touch of modern glam to this restful reading area.

Adding a rustic piece like this Carved Wood Side Table from West Elm lends an eclectic vibe to this tiny area without over powering it. Some colourful cushions and that fabulous paining by artist Lisa Congdon finish off this nook with stye and flair.

 

What do you think? Would you like to sit back with a glass of wine and read a great book in this space?
