1. An arched floor lamp with a rattan shade, because the first thing you have to do in any nook? LET THERE BE LIGHT! This lamp, which clocks in at almost five feet in height, will provide enough light to read by, but its glow won't be overpowering.
2. Or a gold table lamp for folks who are working with less space, or just love simple design.
3. A 60" x 50" brightly colored checkerboard blanket because, I'm sorry, but if there's no blanket that you can wrap around your shoulders/burrow into as needed, it's not really a reading nook.
4. A mini space heater so you can achieve the perfect level of coziness even if your nook is in that one incredibly drafty part of the house.
5. A stack of three floor pillows in gradient colors, for folks who don't have room for a whole chair/couch setup. These three pillows aren't just gorgeous, whether stacked or spread out — they also allow you to customize the cushioning in your space. Is today a "lie down flat and read for your hours" day, or a "lean against the windowsill with my feet propped up on a pile of pillows like royalty?" day?
6. A dark green velvet seat that I *know* you can just imagine sprawling out on all day. Since it has two cushioned sides, it can give you that "snuggling up in the corner of a couch" feeling, even if there's no couch in sight.
7. A retro-chic electric tea kettle for anyone whose reading time is counted out by cups of chamomile tea. This electric kettle holds a lot of water and has a water level gauge, which means you'll never live the horror of ~just~ getting to the part where the two MCs finally realize they're in love, only to realize you have to go downstairs and make a fresh cup.
8. An accent cabinet that can keep your ever-growing TBR (to be read) pile organized on its shelves. The top area is a great place for a lamp, a cup of coffee, or even that electric kettle we just discussed.
9. A rattan room divider because maybe you think you can't have a reading nook since you live in a studio apartment or have a houseshare where your only personal space is your bedroom. NONSENSE, I SAY! This divider, plus a nice, comfy chair, can help you turn a corner of your room into a cozy little getaway.
10. A retro-look portable Bluetooth speaker that also has AM/FM functions, so you can have the exact perfect music to match your reading experience, without having to drag your laptop or phone into your nook (HORRORS).
11. A Rifle Paper Co. floral accent chair to liven up a blah corner. Plus, reviewers say it not only looks cool — it's also comfy (very important when the goal is to spend a Saturday reading from when you wake up straight 'til dinner).
12. A colorful woven hanging accent basket because I don't know about you, but my reading area tends to collect weird odds and ends — pens, hair ties, extremely important documents that I was using as bookmarks. This basket will give you a nice central place to store all of it.
13. A round faux-fur throw pillow to plop onto your lap as you read (if there isn't a cat/dog there already, of course).
14. A fleece bed rest pillow that's basically a traveling reading nook. Set this baby up on your bed, pile on the blankets, and bam, instant book zone. It's also great if you tend to read on a window bench, or other spot that can be hard on your back.
15. A 32-ounce container of Tazo chai tea concentrate so you can always a delicious and slightly caffeinated bev on hand. Just combine with hot or cold milk — it's sort of like one of those bookstores with a coffee shop inside, only it's, you know, your house.
16. And an ultra-cute strawberry stoneware mug that is literally begging to be filled with a hot, tasty beverage, and then savored as you read those final 50 pages.
17. An ultra-glam channel stitch velvet sofa because if you have the space, *this* is how you nook in style.
18. A two-level coffee table so you'll have plenty of space for all your books, all your coffee cups, all your notebooks, and all your tissues when you get to the sad part.
19. A set of battery-operated vine LED curtain lights because we don't *suggest* reading in low, mood light, but if you're reading on your Kindle as you try to wind down for the night, these are a soothing alternative to harsher lamp light.
20. An "Introvert" painted glass scented candle that will provide the perfect bookworm ambience. Plus, maybe this will give you the encouragement you need to cancel your dinner plans so you can read one...more...chapter.
21. A pair of cloud-shaped book ends, because are they technically for kids? Yes. But will they also keep your non-kid books neatly and adorable organized? Yes.
22. A cube organizer that can do double-duty as a mini bookcase, because in your book nook dreams, the next book is always within arm's reach.
23. An adorable hardcover notebook so you can write down your favorite lines, record insights, or just log every book you've read this month.
24. A storage ottoman because if there's one thing you always need in a reading nook, it's a place to put your feet up, and a place to stow away your extra stuff. Wait, that's two things. Maybe my next read should be a math textbook.
25. And a braided seagrass basket to hold your books, blankets, snacks, and other reading essentials, so you can stow them away quickly, or take them with you when you travel. Why not pack a to-go reading nook kit for your next trip? Truly, the nook is in the eye of the beholder.
