If there is one thing we’ve learned recently, it’s that having a separate space for work and leisure can really make the difference in our time off.

Here are some quick ways to create your very own reading nook so that you always have the perfect spot to settle into a story.

Ideas for a Small Space
The most daunting part about creating a reading nook is thinking about where you can find space in your home. This is going to be different for everyone! If you have an empty corner in your bedroom or living room, all you need is a cozy chair and a lamp to get your reading marathon started.
Finding yourself in dire need of inspiration? Window seats (or adding a bench to a bare window) are a great start! Consider a part-time nook by stacking some books next to your couch or even making some space in your closet for blankets and pillows. String lights can really up your game here and create the perfect ambiance.
Another option, if you’ve already got some fellow readers in your household, is to decorate the space like a fictional place in a favorite book! Is everyone a fan of Harry Potter or The Hobbit? Check out this fantasy-inspired reading nook idea and more from Angi.com:
