LIFESTYLE NEWS - There's nothing better than a warm place to curl up with a good book in the colder months.
What could beat a chilly afternoon spent indoors, wrapped in blankets and surrounded by great literature? Winter is the perfect excuse to hibernate, so why not make a thing of it and create a luxurious, cosy space to escape the real world and delve into those of make believe?
A good reading nook screams comfort and relaxation, as well as some much-needed privacy. If you're craving a bit of me-time, best you get yourself a cup of something piping hot, have your books at the ready and prepare to get toasty with these wonderful reading nook ideas:
Make use of space
Even if space is at a minimum, it can't hurt to find a little spot of secluded floor, throw a plush rug and some scatter cushions over it and there you have it! A lovely little place to get away from it all.
Put up a fort
If there's a free corner somewhere, you can always hang a mosquito net, a tent or the super popular teepee for a little bit of quiet time in your homemade fort.
Fairy lights and cute pillows are a pre-requisite.
Claim the couch
If all else fails, you can always claim an armchair for your sole reading pleasure. Adorn it with plenty of comfy pillows, your favourite throw and keep a lamp nearby for some late night reading.
