How to Make a Reading Nook in a Room

Introduction

Reading is a very important part of learning and it can also be a very enjoyable pastime. So it's nice to have a special place to get away from it all with a good book. Creating a "Book Nook" is simple and can be used for drawing, talking on the phone, or taking a little cat nap.

Things You'll Need

• small area or corner
• comfy chair or pillows
• divider or something similar

Steps

1 Step One

First you will need to find a little corner or area of a closet that you can get comfortable in. You may have to rearrange some furniture to open up spaces, but you can get creative. Make sure it is away from traffic and noise, it won't be peaceful if you can't relax!

2 Step Two

Now take a seat. Decide what kind of a chair you want, a big fluffy chair or a bunch of pillows. If you can't get comfortable then how are you going to enjoy a great read.

3 Step Three

You may also want to get a night stand or table by your chair. This way you can set a drink while you are reading. It is also useful for pencils and a notebook for those moments of inspiration

4 Step Four

A lamp might be necessary if your nook is in a dark place or you read a lot at night. Make sure the light isn't too bright or it will hurt your eyes. Like wise the dark will hurt your eyes, so be careful. If you can let natural light be your only light.

5 Step Five

Now you have to customize this area to fit you. Put things in it that appeal to your senses. Use textures and colors you like. Don't put anything you don't like in there or that makes you feel uneasy.

6 Step Six

Room dividers work good and look great!

Now you need to separate your nook from the rest of the world. You may be able to just put a wardrobe up or dresser. You can also put up curtains. Folding dividers are very nice and come in many colors and designs

7 Step Seven

If you think you don't have an area big enough don't worry. You just have to use your imagination when moving furniture. Plus once you become engulfed in a good book you usually don't notice your surroundings. Be creative and put different things in your area to make it your own. Have fun and enjoy your nook!

Overall Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you don't put your nook near a t. v. or a game room. You'll never be able to concentrate with all that racket.
