Light up your perfect book nook

There are many design factors that contribute to making a reading nook the ideal place to cozy up with your favourite book or magazine. But let’s face it – without proper lighting, you won’t be doing much reading. The question is: What type of lighting is right foryour nook? To answer this, we’ve put together some key lighting elements to keep in mind as you redefine your reading corner.

Natural Light Leads The Way

Whenever possible, use natural light as a main source of  clear, welcoming lighting that’s less strenuous on the eyes. Place your reading furniture near a window, and supplement that light source with artificial lighting from aversatile fixture for a more inviting – and practical – setup. The combination of these two light sources means you can read well into the evening, and your eyes will thank you for it. 

Learn To Adjust

The simplest and most convenient way to enjoy a more focused reading experience is to invest in adjustable lighting.Elegant fixtures that rotate or bend and flex to meet your precise comfort level will help you to relax, and cast shadow-free light in the direction you need to immerse yourself in your book.

Maximize Space

Reading nooks are meant to be cozy and sometimes, that means working with tight spaces. To make the best use of constrained corners, consider a sleek,adjustable wall sconce that allows you to make more room for a comfy chair or even a table. The possibilities are endless with the right space-saving fixture.

Remember, no matter what type of lighting you choose, your nook should be designed with the goal of creating a relaxing space that feels snug and accommodating, so you can make the most of your quiet reading time at home.
