Choose a spot where you already like to sit. A reading nook needs a place for you, your book and enough light to read the page. Start with those before buying decor.
Try the spot at your usual reading time
Sit there in the evening or at the time you plan to read. Notice the light, noise and whether other people need to pass through. Move a lamp or chair before committing to new furniture.
Keep a few things within reach
Use a small table or shelf for your current book and bookmark. Leave room for a drink if you want one. Keep charging cables out of the walkway if you read on a device.
Choose a pillow cover that fits
Measure the cushion or pillow already on the chair. Just One More Chapter and I Read Past My Bedtime are reading-themed designs; check the exact listing for dimensions, printed sides and included items.
Keep the setup easy to reset
Put finished books back on the shelf and keep only the current book nearby. If the space serves another purpose, use a basket to gather the reading items between sessions.
