Studying the right lighting
Being able to count on the correct lighting is an essential element of the reading area: it is forbidden to neglect this detail. Too cold or direct lights should be banned, which tend to create annoying reflections on the pages, not to mention that they are the opposite of relaxing.
The ideal would be a floor lamp with a flexible arm, which allows you to direct the light where needed, or a table lamp with a diffuser, which offers soft and uniform lighting. If possible, also take advantage of natural light: create a reading area near a window, shielding direct sunlight with light curtains, preferably in linen or cotton, to keep the environment bright and, at the same time, guarantee a strong privacy effect.
Books on display and the inevitable soft elements
A reading corner cannot be considered complete without the use offabrics and materials that add warmth, softness and comfort. Even more so now that we are entering the cold and rainy season. Wool or cashmere blankets, cushions and thick rugs in natural fibres are the perfect elements to create a welcoming atmosphere, in an invitation to reading and calm.
You can't forget a bookcase, if space allows, or a couple of shelves on which to proudly display your favourite volumes. Also because it is known that books furnish and immediately make a home. If you feel a bit Marie Kondo you can group them by colour or size or, more classically, create a library by author. The choice is yours and happy reading!
