Everyone needs a spot in their home to get away and have a little quiet time. A reading nook is a perfect place for a little “me time.” And the requirement for that little nook is a whole lot of beauty.
A book, a cuddly blanket, and a comfy chair are mandatory in your reading nook.
Pillows and great lighting are perfect too. A lot of room isn't required, just a little corner in your home sweet home.

Cozy Chair Book Nook
Having a quiet place to have some quiet time with your cup of coffee and a little encouraging reading to start the day, looks like exactly what this was designed for.
Beautiful flowers and the warmth of the sun shining on your face are the best ways to wake up according to Brittany Pillard.
Alcove Book Nook
Grace at Grace Start works with her mom, Jean, designing beautiful places. This little window seat seems to be screaming for someone to curl up with their favorite book and maybe even a loved one.
The light flowing in and all those pillows make the perfect reading nook.
Home Library Book Nook
If you already have a library in your home like My Charmed Cottage, all you need to do is add a comfy chair that hugs you as you fall into it and a throw blanket and maybe a pillow or two.
The design of this room looks like one Belle from Beauty & The Beast would get lost in. Each shelf holds a different adventure.
Corner Reading Nook
This reading nook by Lauren E Bown looks like it would be the perfect addition in some of the Girls College Dorm Rooms we talked about a few weeks back.
The subtle kiss of pink and chenille and velvet touches are sweet. Homework or reading for fun would be dreamy in a spot like this.
Cozy Porch Book Nook
And last here is our favorite cozy book nook area — our back porch.
If you have a back porch whether screened in or not consider adding a hanging chair and creating a cozy space for reading on a beautiful day.
Remember all you need is a comfortable chair, a place to set your drink and a decoration or two like a plant. Add comfortable pillows and cushions to your chair for comfort and like magic you have a cozy book nook.

Come see more details of how she created this dreamy Harry Potter Book nook using thrift store items as well as new.
Dormer Window Book Nook
Since we are talking about dormer window books nooks here is another one I created for my niece when we transformed her bedroom into a cottagecore bedroom.
This dormer was much smaller but it still was calling to be a cozy reading nook.
All this cozy nook needed was a chair, soft rug and place to set a few things. You will never believe how we created a table space in this tiny nook.
