 The only thing better than curling up with a good book? Having the perfect spot to cozy up with it. Get inspired by these 11 inviting reading corners, made for turning the pages of your favorite new novel with a soft blanket and a warm cup of coffee by your side. 

Chic Textures

                                                      


Between the oh-so-soft knit blanket, fringed throw pillow, woven basket, sheepskin rug, and marble-top side table, this reading corner uses stylish textures to give the space an elevated feel . The finishing touches: Beachy wall art and a leafy plant add subtle, serene pops of color.

                                                 



Vintage Vibes

                                             


A hanging wicker lamp and floral throw pillows give this bench seat a vintage, Southern-charm style. With its botanical wall art and light, airy hues, it’s the perfect place to read your way right into spring.


                                                   



DIY Hammock Chair

Sway to the story in this customizable, make-your-own hammock chair. Pick your favorite patterned fabric and a colorful circular pillow, and you’ve got the makings of a cute spot for kids and adults alike. Contrasting rugs and plants lend a soothing quality to this space by A Beautiful Mess, too.

                                      




Small but Mighty Space

Have an awkward corner in your house? This is the perfect way to make use of a space that seems like it’s not big enough for anything. All you need is a strategically placed chair, a small accent table, an ottoman, and a reading lamp—and voilà! If your corner has a shelf or two, add visual interest with horizontally and vertically stacked books, plus sculptural objects.

                                                     



Outdoor Escape

Who says a reading nook has to be indoors? If you have a patio or balcony, add a couple of throw pillows and a comfy blanket to a bench to create an al fresco reading space surrounded by fresh air and lush plants.

                                    




Bedtime Story Spot

Extra-comfy touch to bedroom corner with a cushy chair, standing lamp, and a petite side table (best paired with a vase of flowers). Just resist the temptation to let your reading spot become the “clothes chair” — you know the one.

                                       




Contemporary Corner

For modernistas, a polished armchair and ottoman paired with an eye-catching, animal-print rug make this contemporary reading corner. 

                                      



Closet Makeover

If you’re willing to relocate your clothes to a standing wardrobe, you’ve got (almost) everything you need for a built-in bedroom reading nook, like this one from Less-Than-Perfect Life of Bliss. Transform your closet with stylish throw pillows, a hanging light fixture, and a tension rod with curtains — key for hiding away with your favorite read.

                                       


Stacked-Up Side Table

This simple office reading corner gets creative with a side table fashioned from stacked-up books that helps add definition to the space. A succulent terrarium and gallery-style wall art further bring the whimsical nook together.

                                         



Imagination Alcove

With clear acrylic racks to display beloved stories and a welcoming floor space decked out with pillows, this playful reading nook by First Sense Interiors is a foolproof way to get little ones excited about reading. But if you’re looking to indulge your own imagination, this idea can be adapted for grown-ups; just swap in more adult-friendly design elements (and maybe a chair).

                                     



Built-In Bookshelf

                                         


Believe it or not, this reading nook from the rustic wood-paneled wall to the bronze lighting fixture to the custom wooden bench, which has a shelf to line up your favorite reads. Add an initial bookend and a few plush pillows, and you’ve got a warm reading nook and another seating option in your living room.

AESTHETIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANTS

Image
Texture, form, size, and color are the physical characteristics of plants that provide interest, variety, and aesthetic appeal to a landscape.

Some plants are extroverts—loud, boisterous, and energetic attention-getters—while other plants are introverts—quiet, calm, and content to be in the background. A good mix of plant personalities creates an interesting and appealing garden.                                                                Some plants may have more value as a visual element in the landscape based on their physical characteristics.  The visual value describes the energy or impact of the plant in relation to its surroundings.  Some characteristics are more visually dominant and have a higher visual value, some are more functionally dominant, and some dominate simply by size.
