How to create the perfect reading nook

Completely disappear into a good book with a cup of tea and your feet up. A reading nook at home is the place where you retreat from the hustle and bustle. And just because it is a moment of calm does not mean you cannot go all out with the styling. In fact, this is exactly where you want to make it extra comfortable and stylish. Start with a comfortable chair or beanbag as your base and build from there. On this page, we give you plenty of inspiration to style your reading nook with atmospheric design taking center stage.

The Original Slim Terry in the color cognac creme is a calm base for a reading nook in the living room that you naturally want to sink into. The soft terry fabric feels comfortable and invites you to stay a while, book in hand, time off. Thanks to its more compact size of 155 by 120 centimeters, this beanbag fits easily into any corner of the room, yet it is still large enough to lounge on exactly the way you like. Combine it with a Point pouf in the same style for extra comfort, or choose a different color for a bold contrast. With the right lighting, you complete the reading nook. Think of the Oloha bowls for soft light or the Tjoep Small for functional focus.

The BonBaron Slim Cord lounge chair in beige is the smaller sibling of the BonBaron, with the same pronounced comfort, but in a slimmer silhouette. With its width of 85 centimeters, it is perfect for a reading nook. Spacious enough to sink into, compact enough to keep the space feeling light. The soft cord fabric brings calm and warmth, ideal for long reading sessions. Thanks to the generous filling, good support, and adjustable backrest with oversized buttons, you can easily tailor the chair to your personal chill mode. A comfortable design spot you will happily linger in.
