Reading Nook Ideas

Although I’m no fan of built-in reading nooks – I just couldn’t get really comfortable in any of the ones I’ve tried so far – I do like the IDEA of reading nooks, or at least the notion of devoting space in one’s home specifically for reading (vs., say, conversation).

One of Bored Panda‘s list-making mavens has collected the largest collection of reading nook photos I’m aware of: 72 of them. Some could be installed in ye average home or apartment; others are, um, rather unique and wouldn’t fit in just anywhere.

And of course not all home-owning (or even apartment-renting) readers are lucky enough to have the views featured in some of these photos. Still, one can dream.

Take a look and see if any of them appeal to you.

A Gallery of Reading Nook Ideas

The collection of seventy-two (!) reading nook photos recently posted to Bored Panda is the largest such collection I’ve seen so far. Some of these nooks are actually not very nookish – or even “cozy,” – but you can still find some unconventional ideas for a “home reading area” from browsing through these photos.

Although I’ve never found window seats comfortable myself (at least, not since I was a kid), window reading nook photos are always so attractive-looking!

If you’ve always hankered after installing one of these in your home, Onekindesign has posted photos of 35 different examples to inspire you.
