Unique Reading Room Inspiration in the House, Suitable for Those Who Love Reading
For those of you who like to read either books or various newspapers, of course, you want a quiet and bright space. A corner in the house where you feel comfortable while reading. It is very much needed for those of you who have this hobby. Designing the area in the house can certainly be simple by putting a comfortable sofa or be complicated because of small renovations in the house. Here are some inspirations of reading areas that are certainly comfortable for you in the house.
Sofa with Foot Pads in the Mini Library
If you have a mini library, complete the room with a reading table or chair. It doesn't have to be the chairs found in a typical library, but it can be this sofa chair. A comfortable chair to lean on ensures that your back and neck don't get sore while reading. If your legs get tired while sitting, an additional seat cushion that is as high as the sofa can be used so that you can recline by resting your feet on it. Place the sofa close to a window and add a reading lamp that can be used at night.
A cozy corner in the living room
If your home doesn't have a dedicated space for your book collection, a wall shelf and a cushioned bench in the corner of the room can be transformed into a reading room. Not only books, you can also put decorations to beautify the area. Its location in the corner will not interfere with other activities in the house. Plus, in this area you can be alone and sit comfortably from sitting normally to leaning against the wall. Because it is located in a corner, it will make you feel like you have a space to be alone.
Hammock on the Ceiling
Tired of the same old reading room? Maybe this reading area with a hammock can be an option in your home. If your home has a room with a high ceiling, creating a mezzanine area with a hammock can make reading activities more exciting. You can also lie down in this area when you are tired of reading books all day.
Window Seat with Wide Opening
The picture above is one of the many window side mount models available. However, this design is quite unique due to the size of the window so that this area can be opened very wide. Reading in this area will certainly make you feel more relaxed because you can see the garden area outside the window. The breeze and also the fragrance of the plants will feel fresh so that the mind is fresher when reading.
Mini Library with an Elongated Sofa
Reading is sometimes more fun when done together. In this mini library room, there is an elongated sofa with open bookshelves and natural light from the window. This elongated sofa can certainly be used for reading activities together with family and friends. You can also teach your children to read together while sitting on the sofa. Of course, another consideration for using this sofa is its elongated shape.
House Attic with Sloping Ceiling
Have an attic area in the house and don't know what to use it for? Maybe this design can be an inspiration for your home. Attics sometimes have a narrower area than other rooms because the ceiling is slanted to follow the roof. But this reading and relaxing area can be designed comfortably and uniquely. The window seat can be used as a bed. The shelves on the other side of the room can also be used to place various reading books.
Dead-space area at Bottom of Stairs
A staircase in a house can sometimes create a 'dead area' because of the empty space that cannot be used as a functional space. However, this design certainly provides ideas to overcome this problem. The area under the stairs can be designed with a reading room that has an eye-catching shape and appearance. The comfortable seat and the wall made in contrast to the white color of the stairs stand out. This area can also be used as a hidden playroom for your children.
Bordes Area with Window Seat and Bookshelf
Still related to the stairs, this reading room is designed in the staircase borders area. The place that is usually used as an area to rest your feet when climbing the stairs can function as an open space as shown in the picture. Of course, this bordeaux is designed wide enough so that the activities in this area do not interfere with the circulation of people who go up and down using the stairs.
