Commentary: Sometimes you just need a little bit of red around. Maybe for speed-reading. Zoom!

Commentary: Clearly a bookish cocoon for a leisurely rainy day, when the primary objective is to sprawl comfortably and just read for hours. The stacks of hardcovers serve almost like makeshift tables, the couch looks sturdy but comfy, with plenty of pillows in soft materials. A bit boho, cluttered and casual. The forecast calls for rain? Well, then!

Commentary: Simple, comfortable, and colorful book nook, taking advantage of an enclosed courtyard. Here are some other snapshots of colorful spaces set up by the same designer (Mae Brunken), from the same pictorial - they'd also make charming book nooks.

Commentary: Charming and restful, lots of greenery, beautiful woodwork, clear light and several spots to select a reading spot. Technically a garden to be enjoyed during the winter, it'd also have been a pleasant reading hideaway for the bookish.
