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.

With a few smart tricks, your house will be ready to welcome you back—no bad surprises.
When the summer gets intense, your home needs to cool down too.
