There’s nothing a book lover appreciates more than a snug, inviting reading nook. Even in a rental, you can shape the space to fit your needs. Phoenix renters have various easy and temporary ways to create a cozy reading nook. With the right pieces and your creativity, you can design a reading nook that exudes relaxation.
Bring comfortable items into the space
Start with what makes you feel comfortable to create the perfect reading nook. Maybe it’s an oversized chair, some soft throw pillows, or your favorite blanket. Or maybe you prefer having pictures, flowers, or houseplants, adding color and natural beauty to your indoor spaces. Bring items that make you feel calm and happy into your reading nook.
Place a comfortable chair in a peaceful corner of your favorite room to easily create a reading nook. Whether your preference is overstuffed upholstery, classic leather, or modern lines, select a chair that encourages lingering. Include a floor lamp and your favorite throw, and you’re ready for hours of reading.
Keep plenty of books nearby
For book lovers, a reading nook isn’t complete without their book collection within reach. To accommodate this, add one or more bookshelves to your reading nook space. Style your bookshelves in various ways, from tall freestanding models to wall-mounted space savers.
No matter the shelving choice, ensure you create attractive displays of books, keepsakes, and treasured décor. This makes your bookshelves more personal and helps you build a space filled with your favorite things.
Natural lighting creates a cozy feel
If you love natural light, it’s easy to create a window seat reading nook. This applies even if your rental doesn’t have a built-in window seat. Use a storage ottoman, chaise longue, or floor pillows beneath your favorite window to create a cozy window seat reading nook.
Enhance the space by placing narrow freestanding bookshelves on either side of the window and a few houseplants on the sill. Quickly, you’ll have a light and airy window nook that’s perfect for relaxing at home.
Adorn the room with inspiring decor
In addition to comfy seating, make sure the walls around your reading nook showcase your personality. Add a large artwork for maximum impact, capturing attention and giving your space a unique character.
A gallery wall is another fantastic way to make your space truly your own. Hang a collection of your favorite photos, small artworks, or other décor pieces to create the perfect ambiance. This method allows any spot in your rental house to become the cozy reading nook you’ve always wanted, motivating you to explore your unique style and comfort.
Whether your space is large or small, these ideas can help you easily create a reading nook in your Phoenix rental house – with no construction required!
