Set Up Chic Reading Nooks with Ottomans and Bedroom Benches

It's great to relax with a good book after the day's work. You can set up a chic reading nook anywhere in your home with bedroom benches, ottomans and rugs. Here are some simple decor tips to create stylish book nooks in your home.

The reading nook can be set up in any spot of your home--the unused corner in the living room or by the bedroom window. Choose a spot that gets plenty of natural light in the daytime. The reading nook can be as attractive as the rest of your home by selecting stylish yet practical furniture like bedroom benches and ottomans. Use throw rugs and area rugs to visually separate the reading nook from the rest of the room. The rug anchors the reading space and also adds visual interest to the space. Choose contemporarily designed rugs with bold graphics and bright hues to create a chic reading nook.

To set up a reading nook in your living room, choose a peaceful spot without a lot of distractions. An alcove or a corner is the perfect spot conducive to quiet reading. The first step is to lay out a rug to create a cozy spot, separate from the rest of the living room. Choose a striking rug with geometric patterns to complement the contemporary setting of your living room. Furnish this spot with a comfy and chic accent chair such as a Barcelona chair or a leather club chair. Add stylish upholstered ottomans to the space to complete the look. The ottomans are excellent additions as they can be used to put your feet up while reading and they work well as side tables for holding books and drinks.

A reading nook can be set up in your bedroom as well with bedroom benches and pillows. An armchair and ottoman arrangement can be a bit bulky for the bedroom but you can use bedroom benches instead to furnish the space. Choose a calm spot such as one by the window and place the bench flush against the wall. Opt for bedroom benches with storage underneath so they can be used to hold books and other reading material. Make the reading space a comfy spot by adding decorative pillows and throws.

These ideas are simple and can be infused with the existing furniture layout in your home making for an easy to set up reading nook.
