Book Nooks

This time of the year we always find ourselves hard charging through a giant stack of novels and non-fiction as we soak up our remaining weekends by the pool. But we like to consider ourselves year-round readers, so we’re always looking for inspirational photos of really great reading nooks. We’ve found quite a few dream-worthy book nooks around the internet, so here’s a round-up of a few of our favorites.

We adore this hall library, complete with its own window seat reading spot. It’s bright and airy, but comfortably cozy.

Alcoves, for those lucky enough to have them, make ideal reading nooks, whether off a kitchen, living area, bedroom or hallway.

For those that need to be craftier about it, some gauzy drapes, twinkle lights, some pillows, mattresses and blankets can do the trick.

Isolated shelving, combined with some bench seating, can also make a lovely spot to take in some chapters.

When the weather is nice, outdoor nooks and crannies can make fabulous reading spaces, especially when paired with a unique set of outdoor-specific furniture.

Transform that closet space underneath the stair case into a cozy little reading nook for maximum space efficiency.
