Everybody needs a nook.
This is Mara. Mara is the queen of reading nooks.
Her Instagram is just one long feed of book porn, all housed in the most adorable nook you will ~ever~ see. We got in touch and asked her to talk us through how to make the perfect reading space.
Here's what she recommended.
You can't have too many cushions.
"Pillows are the ultimate accessory for a reading nook. They don’t just look amazing but also help you stay comfortable while you’re going through all those weird reading positions. Pick out pillows in all shapes and sizes, in all colours and fabrics, but keep in mind: the more the merrier and the weirder the shape, probably the more comfortable.
My personal favourite options are pillows that have to do with reading or encourage me to read more - like this one from Bookworm Boutique"
Pimp your bookshelves.
"Treat your bookshelves like an extension of yourself. Add little gimmicks or figures or mugs as decoration. Try to display gorgeous bookmarks or pictures that you took with authors, fandom jewellery of your favourite series, or just things that mean something to YOU. Is there any better background to anything than books? I don’t think so."
Don't be scared of a little colour.
"The more colourful, the better. Your reading nook should be a reflection of your taste in books and stories, so why not add as many splashes of colour as possible? A good thing to do is go with either white or grey as a base and then add accessories and furniture that stand out from them.
Your reading nook should be light for reading though, so if you do opt for a dark wall colour, be sure to add some bright accessories and lamps to make it more cosy."
