The reading space we are about to create, so dreamy-cozy, will make you want to stay there forever—even if only pretending to read and sipping hot tea. ☕📖
🧺 What You Will Need (Most of It Probably Lying Around)-
Soft floor cushion/pouf/old mattress topper folded
Texture throw blankets-chunky knits, macramé, or cotton
An entire mix of pillows in earthly hues or tribal prints
A side table or two-box stack
String lights, fairy lights, or an old-world lamp
Hanging plants or a tiny floor plant (faux or real!)
Lightweight drapery, canopy, or a boho tapestry
Rug (jute, kilim, or shag-style) to delineate the area
Vibe: Scent your way to heaven with some incense, candles, or an essential oil diffuser ✨
🛠️ How To Assemble Your Nook:
- Seek The Spot
Choose a low-traffic corner; by a window is preferred for natural light but considered an alcove.
- Build Out Your Foundation
Layer a soft rug or mat to define the area of your nook. Top this with floor cushions, bean bags, or even a folded-up futon.
- Layer Like a Boho Queen (or King)
Top lots of throw blankets and pillows. Mix textures—macramé, velvet, kantha, linen—and create an easy-going, cheap-around-the-world vibe.
- Set The Mood
Hang string fairy lights from a plant or curtain rod, or grace a rattan lamp with a warm light bulb. Go for that dreamy glow of warm-toned LED bulbs.
- Go Up
Drape a lightweight canopy, curtain, or printed tapestry behind the nook to add some height and softness.
- Style That Side Table!
Select an old wooden crate, stool, or even a stack of vintage books. A candle, your current reads, and a small vase or incense holder will follow.
- Bring in the Nature
Even a tiny potted plant brings life; trailing vines bring you more boho love in a hanging macrane planter 🌿.
