If you’re going to be spending more time at home, why not carve out a reading space for yourself to relax and escape into for a while? Whether your dream book nook features lots of shelves stuffed with everything you want to read or you prefer digital reading in a sleek space, adding some personality to and setting aside a reading space for yourself can be a great way to unwind and disconnect.
Floor Pillow
Your reading nook doesn’t have to be an actual space; just having a designated spot to read can help you (or your kids) look forward to digging into a book. For something portable and easy to store away, try these floor pillows for a comfy and colorful option!
Task Floor Lamp
Set the scene for coziness by switching your overhead light off and turning on a floor light to set the atmosphere. This lamp’s brass finish won’t stand out too much, but provides a nice glow for your late night marathon reads.

Maybe your reading nook needs a little bookshelf for your most current reads. This cute cube bookcase has plenty of room for things at the top of your TBR list and room on top for a lamp or plant to liven up your space.

Who says canopies are just for kids? If you’ve always wanted your own secret space to tuck yourself away with a good book, why not get a floor-to-ceiling canopy that you can fill with your favorite comfy pillows or cozy blankets for your own magical world?

The Book Seat: Book Holder and Travel Pillow
