Looking to create a peaceful spot to unwind with a good book? A cosy reading nook is the perfect little escape and your bookcase can play a big role in bringing it to life. With a few simple styling touches, you can turn a corner of your home into a calm and inviting space that feels just right.
Style Your Books with a Twist
Books don’t need to sit in boring rows! Try:
-
Stacking some books horizontally and some vertically.
-
Sorting them by colour for a calm, coordinated look.
-
Leaving a little space here and there so your shelves don’t feel crowded.
A beautiful solid wood bookcase is the perfect base—strong, timeless, and full of character.
Bring in Some Soft Lighting
Warm lighting makes all the difference. Try:
-
A small lamp on or near your bookcase
-
A few candles for a soft, flickering glow
Lighting helps set the mood and makes your nook feel extra snug.
Mix in Natural Elements
Add a bit of nature to soften the look:
-
A small plant or two (real or faux)
-
Wooden or woven baskets for storage
Natural textures pair perfectly with chunky wooden shelves.
Make It Comfy
Your reading nook should feel as good as it looks. Add:
-
A small table for your book and a cup of tea
Layering soft, comfy pieces makes your nook somewhere you’ll want to stay for hours.
