Commentary: Simple porch swing with a view of the garden, a little table for a pitcher of something to drink and room enough for a pile of books. A nice book nook for balmy days.

Commentary: Sprawl space, soft velvet couches, lots of color and tables to hold books - yes, this is a comfy book nook, set up in a quiet corner. This could be a nice reading spot for just about anything - summer read, non-fiction, even a creepy thriller. Or it could be nice place to lounge out while browsing some bookish vlogs.

Commentary: You're indoors, but outdoors - and vice versa. Cute little summer cottage, mellow and low-key, with plenty of space for sprawling, chair for stacking up books, fireplace for chilly nights, and a nice bit of greenery on all sides.

Cute reading nook, especially nice for a lazy summer read of something completely frivolous. Greenhouse cottage is 12 x 18 feet (3.65 x 5.48 meters).

Excerpt from interview with the builder in My Home Ideas, where this photo appears in a feature on summer cottages:

Don Viens has literally built a cottage industry in his own backyard. After constructing a greenhouse for his partner's floral company from scrap materials, Viens created a backyard retreat business.

His fantastic cottages have earned him a reputation for recycling with creativity. He says, 'I enjoy using lots of color and playful elements and letting my sheds take shape from the materials I find.'

Commentary: Well-lit reading space in a private home in Kungsladugård, 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: 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.
