Commentary: Well, this combination of colors will certainly wake you up enough to pay attention for a morning read. Zing!

Commentary: Quirky and subtly colorful sort of reading spot; it almost looks like a theater set or backstage lounge area, but quite welcoming for a reader, as well. The low-lying table can hold books, tray of tea or fruit, stacks of papers and notes. The divan looks comfortable, and the entire spot has sort of a sequestered feeling to it, as if it's a nice place to pass an hour or two browsing a new book.

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: What's nice about this is that either way, a book lover is covered - there's either the comfy couch or the divan close by, for reading at night, then there's a cute little set of chairs on the balcony for some morning browsing. 

 Lots of light, colorful and cheery, not too cluttered, and even that rug looks comfy for a lazy reader who can't be bothered to choose from between three great choices, but decides instead to just sprawl on the floor, flipping through a huge coffee table book.

Commentary: Bohemian mix that manages to be both luxurious and laid-back. Comfy, well-worn couch, lots of cushions, and an interesting bit of fantasy wallpaper, conjuring up faraway places. The table is a bit flimsy for stacking books, but the wooden floor would suit just fine. A mellow little book nook, designed for dreaming.

Commentary: Everybody into the pool! But, first, a bit of light reading. A cute book nook for sunny days, summer reads, and the occasional swim.

Commentary: It's like an aquarium, but for humans. Free-form use of space, it's almost like every spot in here could be a potential book nook, has nearly anything you might want in a book nook - sturdy, low table, comfy, worn leather and velvet armchair and couch, and a massive shelf of books with reach, for browsing; there's even a divan and a fireplace. There's also plenty of room for a bit of a wander. 




A little cluttered, yes, but quirky enough to be quite charming in an offbeat sort of (aquatic) way. The big blob on the image at far wall, by the way, if curious, is an poster-sized photo of a swimmer, splashing around in some nice blue water - likely to've been a spark of inspiration for the space, actually.




Shown above, another view of the room, this time focusing on the divan, settled near a window with excellent light and greenery. You can browse the rest of the home, here. The images are from a shoot by Elle Decor España.

Commentary: Well-lit reading space in a private home in KungsladugÄrd, Göteborg, Sweden. What's nice here, apart from the quality of natural light, are the options - can sit in a chair and read, or sprawl out a bit using the ottoman; in the second image below, you'll see there's also a couch along the wall. There's enough room on the table for a stack of books, and the fresh flowers are also a nice touch.



There are additional images from this photo shoot below, interesting wallpaper print (birches) change the mood of the room slightly, giving the room a touch of quirkiness in an otherwise homey but somewhat subdued space, with only a few touches of color. It's possible to take a tour of the rest of the flat, here.

Commentary: Very pleasant little reading nook in a home in KungsladugĂ„rd, Göteborg, Sweden. Although there's very little shelf space, it's a cute little spot for a tray just big enough for a pot of coffee or tea, a nibble, and a nice view to go with a late morning or afternoon flip-through of some favorite magazine or newspaper. Not for a multi-hour reading session, but a likely place to take a half-hour break for yourself, to have a quick bite and a leisurely browse.

Commentary: A blanket, a basket, some books and a beach. Sometimes that's really all you need to have a nice day out.

Commentary: Keep on reading - and rolling. Circular bookshelf, with a spot for sitting or lying down at the center of the shelf. And a resident ghost, evidently. That could be good for spooky tales on Halloween.

Commentary: Pleasant little room for reading, painting, arranging flowers, maybe for a light supper. So, a multi-purpose sort of room, but with excellent quality of light and surfaces for books, definitely a nice reading spot. This would be a particularly nice place for a summer read, either inside, with a bowl of apples, or through the doors and out into the garden.

Commentary: Everything about this is appealing and makes for a nice book nook - pleasant view, quiet spot, assortment of titles within reach. 


The image is from art and architecture site Homedit.com, but unfortunately they haven't specified the date, photographer or location of the image. Too bad, because what a sweet reading spot.

Commentary: This is the interior of a cute reading pod someone can install in their yard, if they have one. There's a skylight, shelves for books, spot to curl up, see-through doors so there's light to read by and a nice view. Cute little construction. You can see the exterior here, if you like: Polyhedron exterior


Info provided by Design Boom: Colombia-based Manuel Villa Arquitecto has completed a habitable polyhedron dwelling for a backyard in Bogota, Colombia. The aim of 'polyhedron pod' is to create a space for leisure activities such as reading, and to help visitors reconnect with nature and the surrounding landscape. 


The design features an expansive wooden deck leading up to a set of glass and steel doors. The built-in furniture in the interior includes a desk, cupboards, shelving, and a bench. The walls are left in their natural, untreated teak form on the inside, while a black, honeycomb-patterned skin wraps the outside. 


The final shape of the structure was determined after a number of model studies were drawn up and eventually scrapped. The finished form was chosen for its versatility, adaptability and structure.
