Despite my love of reading<\/a>, I am a finicky bookworm. In order for me to properly settle into a new book, the lighting must be bright enough to protect my eyes, but dim enough for relaxation. There must be no clutter or errant noise within my periphery. I must have a beverage that is either icy cold, or scalding enough I can see steam rising from the mug. The surface I\u2019m seated upon must support my lower lumbar and<\/em> be cozy\u2014a throw blanket<\/a> helps\u2014and the mood is usually better when a candle flickers in the distance. Too much to ask? Indeed, but it\u2019s a recipe I\u2019ve found prolongs my focus, and that\u2019s got to count for something.<\/p>\n Curating an atmosphere that\u2019s conducive to a nice, long read isn\u2019t all that (pardon the pun) novel of a concept. The correlation between an uncomfortable environment and the urge to put your book down is pretty obvious. And while not every reader demands the same neurotic combination of factors in order to simply sit down and dive in, there\u2019s no denying the appeal of ambiance\u2014so I put together a brief shopping list to guide your own reading nook ideas.<\/p>\n Hawkins New York essential gingham 18×18 pillow<\/p>\n Jump to review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Louis Poulsen Panthella portable table lamp<\/p>\n Jump to review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Flamingo Estate Tuscan rosemary candle<\/p>\n Jump to review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n Daniyal Mueenuddin This Is Where the Serpent Lives<\/p>\n Jump to review<\/a><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n From plush armchairs that might just lead to a post-read snooze to the most delightful coasters to complement your favorite coffee cup, here are all the elements you need to curate the perfect reading nook.<\/p>\n Ready to lay the groundwork for an exquisite reading nook? To begin, you\u2019ll need a plush chair<\/a> to sink into.
