Creating a Cozy Reading Nook!

Welcome to Sanctuary Supply Co., where we believe your home should be your sanctuary. Today, we’re diving into a trendy DIY home project that’s perfect for book lovers, homebodies, and anyone looking to add a touch of coziness to their living space: creating a cozy reading nook.

Why a Reading Nook?

A reading nook is more than just a place to read; it’s a personal retreat, a space where you can unwind, relax, and escape into your favorite book. With a few thoughtful touches, you can transform a small corner of your home into a stylish and inviting haven.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Your Cozy Reading Nook

1. Choose the Perfect Spot

  • Location: Find a quiet corner with good natural light. It could be a window seat, an unused corner of your living room, or even a spot under the stairs.
  • Space: Make sure there’s enough space for a comfortable chair or daybed and some shelving or storage.

2. Select Comfortable Seating

  • Chair or Daybed: Opt for a cozy armchair, a loveseat, or even a small daybed. Sanctuary Supply Co.’s Galiano Daybed is an excellent choice, offering both comfort and style.
  • Cushions and Throws: Add plenty of cushions and a soft throw blanket to make your seating extra inviting.

3. Add Adequate Lighting

  • Natural Light: If your nook is near a window, maximize natural light with sheer curtains.
  • Task Lighting: Add a stylish floor lamp or a wall-mounted reading light. A lamp with adjustable brightness can create the perfect ambiance for reading any time of day.

4. Incorporate Storage Solutions

  • Bookshelves: Install wall-mounted shelves or use a small bookcase to store your favorite books within arm’s reach.
  • Storage Baskets: Use decorative baskets to store blankets, magazines, and other essentials. .

5. Personalize with Decor

  • Rugs: A soft rug can define your nook and add warmth.
  • Art and Accessories: Decorate with framed prints, plants, and personal mementos. A Lighted Makeup Mirror from Sanctuary Supply Co. can add a touch of glamour and functionality.

6. Make It Multi-Functional

  • Versatile Furniture: Choose furniture that can serve multiple purposes. For instance, our Sleeper Chair can be a cozy spot to read during the day and a guest bed at night.
  • Tech-Friendly: Include a small side table to hold your coffee, a tablet, or a Bluetooth speaker for some background music.

Inspiration and Tips

  • Theme and Color Scheme: Stick to a color scheme that complements the rest of your home but don’t be afraid to add pops of color with accessories.
  • Comfort First: Prioritize comfort with plush fabrics and ergonomic seating.
  • Keep It Clutter-Free: Regularly tidy up your nook to maintain a relaxing atmosphere.
