Guest Picks: Set Up a Comfy Reading Corner

I love to read. One of my fantasies is to have my own little reading corner, tucked away in a quiet part of the house. It would be filled with books and a comfy chair, and notebooks for jotting, a cozy throw or two, and something warm to drink during the cold days of winter. I could lose myself there for hours. Sigh. Here are some things I’ve found that would be perfect additions to my reading corner. — Claudia from Mockingbird Hill Cottage

Corrigan Chair, Marine - $1,698 This chair is cozy and enveloping, just the thing to sink into while reading. I love the tufted back and the beautiful wood legs.


Gramercy Wingback Chair, Nutmeg Everydaysuede Wingback chairs are designed to protect the sitter from drafts. It’s very cold outside my house this morning, and this chair looks like an elegant solution to the cold air seeping in through my windows.


Lite Source Bronze Jensen Balance Arm Pharmacy Floor Lamp - $105.91 I have to have a good reading light. This floor lamp has a bronze finish and an adjustable arm for positioning the light just where you want it to be.


Walker Sconce, Antique Brass Finish - $179 This lovely light is a great choice if you are short on floor space. How about one on each end of a sofa? I love the elegant curve of the arm.


Aiden End Table - $169.99 Of course you’ll need an end table. I like the industrial look of this one. Plus, it has plenty of room for books and magazines and a lamp. (I tend to pile a lot of books on my end table.) And those wheels are such a neat touch.


Tuscan Flush Bookcases, Set of 5 - $2,995 I love this set of five bookcases. My heart starts to pitter-patter at the thought of filling them all up with my favorite books.


Safavieh Cooper Bookcase, Distressed Ivory - $328.99 If your space is limited, how about this two-shelf unit? It could also function as a table.


Jane Austen Penguin Books, Set of 6 - $125 My favorite books by Jane Austen would be right by my side. These gorgeous editions from Penguin Books would be wonderful additions to any book collector's library.


Wooden Fox Bookend by Ray Lynn Wood Shop - $30 Books need bookends. I love this whimsical wooden fox. Seeing it on my bookshelf couldn't help but bring a smile to my face.


Ayaka Mug, Mint - $14 I love a nice big, roomy cup for tea, coffee or hot chocolate (my favorite at this time of year). I know for a fact that this cup is heavy and solid, in addition to being beautiful.


Olive Wood Coasters, Set of 4 - $24 I would need a coaster to set a glass or mug on. These are made of olive wood, and that grain is simply gorgeous.


Adagio Throw - $74.95 If you really want to nestle in, a throw is the perfect addition to your reading corner.


Pur Cashmere TissuTissu Throw Blanket - $94.99 If you want luxurious, go for cashmere. Heavenly! These color choices are beautiful too.


Page Nibs Bookmarks, Set of 36 - $12 Readers need bookmarks, and these Page Nibs from Levenger are handy and inconspicuous. I don't know about you, but I'm always losing my bookmarks.


Kindle Paperwhite Touch Screen E-Reader With Light - $119 If you prefer an e-reader, the Kindle Paperwhite has a crisp, easy-to-read screen. You may get hooked on it — trust me.


Kate Spade Journal, Pink - $24 A reading corner can also be for writing in a journal, like this one by Kate Spade.


‘What I Read’ Mini Journal, Red - $7.20 One of the things I regret is not keeping a list of all the books I’ve read. But it’s never too late to start! This is on my want list.


Jennifer Taylor Brianza Round Bench - $543 I like to prop my feet up after a long day. Wouldn’t this ottoman be the perfect touch for a reading corner? It has a welcome touch of whimsy to it. I’m in love!


Savannah Trays, Set of 3 - $69 I have a fondness for birds, and wouldn't one of these beautiful trays be perfect for a snack, a sandwich or a cup of tea? I'd set it down on that lovely ottoman.


Chocolate Mocha Hot Cocoa To top it all off, I’ll need a mug of my favorite hot chocolate.
