Part 1: Creating the Perfect Reading Corner

There is a secret place in every home: a little corner where time slows down, where the world becomes gentler, where you can simply… breathe.
This place is the reading corner , a space designed for relaxing, reading, dreaming, or simply enjoying a hot drink.

Creating a reading corner doesn't require a huge space or a big budget: just a few key elements, a touch of inspiration… and a lot of warmth. Here's how to transform a simple corner into a cozy haven perfect for rainy Sundays.

✨ 1. Choose the perfect location

A reading corner can be placed anywhere:

• near a window to take advantage of natural light

• in a corner of the living room

• at the foot of the bed

• in an unused space in the corridor

The goal: to find a place where you feel good, away from the hustle and bustle and noise.
Even 1 square meter is enough to create a bubble of calm.

✨ 2. Select an ultra-comfortable seat

The heart of the reading corner is the seat .
Here are the coziest options:

• a deep and plush armchair

• an XXL pouf

• a small two-seater sofa

• a thick floor cushion (perfect for small spaces!)

Add a soft throw to enhance the cozy feel — models like Parure Royale from Ô Chérie are perfect for this.

✨ 3. Add a soft and warm light

Out with the overly bright white light.
For a calming reading nook, opt for:

• a small accent lamp

• a string of lights

• an LED candle (if you want the cozy effect without a flame)

The goal: to create a low-light , soft and reassuring atmosphere.

✨ 4. Prepare the cozy accessories

The little details make all the difference:

• an Ô Chérie mug filled with tea or hot chocolate

• a set of glasses for cold drinks

• a zodiac tote bag attached to hold the book or notebook

• a soft cushion

• a small basket for storing books

The more tactile, soft and sensory it is… the cozier it is.

✨ 5. Customize according to your vibe

Your reading corner should reflect you .
Some ideas:

• A sweet bunny pattern for a kawaii vibe

• girly pop touches (pink lovers stay winning 💗)

• An astrology-themed decor if you like mystical vibes

• a minimalist wall shelf

• a small vase with dried flowers

The goal: that this space will instantly make you want to settle in.

✨ 6. Add a touch of ritual

Your reading corner becomes even more special if you make it a ritual:
☕ a hot drink
📖 a few pages from a novel
🧘♀️ a breath before starting
🎧 a soothing playlist
💗 a timeless moment

This is your mini sanctuary — keep it simple, authentic, and soothing.

💗 Conclusion

Your reading corner is the first step towards making your home cozier.
