The right seat is key: opt for an ergonomic armchair that provides good back support, preferably with armrests for maximum comfort. Recliners or chairs with integrated footrests can be an excellent choice for complete relaxation.

Good lighting is essential for reading. Place an adjustable floor lamp next to the chair with a warm, directable light to avoid eye strain. For added atmosphere, include candles or small decorative lamps.

Soft blankets, cozy cushions, and plush rugs make the reading nook more inviting. Choose wool or velvet fabrics for a warm and snug effect.

Keep books within easy reach with shelves, wall-mounted racks, or decorative baskets. If space allows, a small bookcase can become a functional and aesthetic furnishing element.

Personalize your reading nook with details that reflect you: a ceramic mug for hot drinks, inspiring artwork or photos, and green plants for a touch of life.

Interior Designer since 1985
CEO & Founder, Italian Design in the World
In recent years, the home has stopped being a simple functional container. It has become an extension of how we think, how we experience time, and how we relate to the world. Living today is a cultural act — a conscious choice that reflects values, priorities, and pace of life. It’s no longer just about aesthetics. It’s about position.
Homes have become more than places — they have become temporal landscapes. Design is shifting from objects to gestures, from furniture to the choreography of daily life.
Material innovation is reshaping interiors more deeply than any aesthetic trend. The new frontier is not in bold colors or complex textures — it lies in technical surfaces that are thin yet strong, discreet yet expressive, silent yet high-performing.
For years, interior design celebrated straight lines and sharp rationality. But as homes became more intimate and introspective, a new aesthetic began to emerge — one rooted in softness, continuity, and emotional comfort. 2025 marks the consolidation of this evolution: curves, arches, and generous volumes define the new vocabulary of contemporary interiors.
Italian design has always been synonymous with beauty, precision, and creativity. In recent years, this legacy has evolved into something new: a fusion of tradition and technology, where craftsmanship meets smart materials, sustainable production, and digital innovation.
It’s not about square meters — it’s about smart choices. Modern luxury no longer belongs only to villas or penthouses: it’s about the ability to make refined beauty flourish even in compact spaces through premium materials, tailored design, and carefully orchestrated lighting. This is the essence of micro luxury — a rising trend across Europe, appealing to cultured urban dwellers seeking chic, intelligent solutions for smaller homes.
