12 inspiring vintage reading nook design ideas

These cozy reading room ideas will help adults enhance their home book nook with some of the most unique decor items on the internet.

When we moved into our new home six months ago, I knew our loft would be a great place to finally work on implementing my reading nook ideas. It already had a soft carpet AND built-in bookshelves!

So I did my research and created a site that worked well for me without breaking the bank. Now I’m going to share all the specific details of my reading room with you so you can upgrade your own reading space!

I didn’t have a huge budget for this small space (under $1,000), so everything I used and shared below was cost effective.

And my focus was on keeping the larger elements, like the chair and the rug, neutral because books are very colorful and busy.

I also wanted to include some fun and unique items of visual interest to both bring me joy and give my guests something to look at and comment on.

You’ll also see a lot of cat-themed stuff here because I love my cats, and they often sit with me when I read!

The focus of this post is to show you the exact reading area ideas that I used to create my own personal book nook (and some similar items, where the exact item is not available online).

Not everything here will be “for” everyone, but it will give you a head start on making a list of the basics you need, as well as show you exactly where to buy my items that you really like and want to use yourself.
