How to Create the Perfect Reading Nook Around Chair 05

Dreaming of a cosy corner where you can unwind with your favourite book? A reading nook is the perfect escape, part retreat, part design feature, and it all starts with the right chair. Chair 05 is both a statement armchair and the ultimate spot to curl up, thanks to its cocooning shape, deep seat and contemporary design.

Here’s how to create the perfect reading nook around Chair 05, no matter the size of your space.

1. Begin With a Statement Armchair

The right chair is at the heart of every nook. Chair 05 isn’t just an occasional chair,  it’s built for daily comfort. Its curved silhouette offers support while the generous proportions let you stretch out or sink in. Position it somewhere quiet like by a window for natural light, or tucked between a console table and a bookshelf to create a dedicated corner.

2. Add Lighting That Works for Reading

Soft, layered lighting sets the tone. A floor lamp or table lamp beside your armchair creates the perfect reading glow. If you’re designing your nook in a living room, try placing a lamp on a sideboard or console table for a balance of function and style.

3. Style With Textures for Cosiness

Enhance Chair 05 with a textured throw and scatter cushions in complementary fabrics. Pairing boucle, velvet or linen adds depth and warmth. These layers not only make your armchair more inviting but also elevate the overall look of your nook.

4. Choose the Right Table for Your Space

Every reading nook needs a surface for your essentials. Depending on your layout:

• A side table works perfectly for keeping your fave book, glasses and a cup of tea within arm’s reach.
• A coffee table can anchor the nook if you have more floor space, offering room for stacks of books and decorative accents.
• A console table or sideboard nearby adds extra storage and display space, keeping the nook feeling organised and styled.

5. Add Personality With Accessories

A great reading nook feels personal. Style your occasional chair with accessories that bring you joy, perhaps a candle on the side table, a plant for greenery, or artwork above the console table. These small touches make the space uniquely yours.

6. Let It Flow With the Rest of the Room

While your nook should feel distinct, it should also complement your wider decor. The beauty of Chair 05 is its versatility, its clean lines work equally well alongside a modern sideboard as they do in a more traditional setting with a classic coffee table. Keep your colour palette consistent, or let the rich upholstery of your armchair take centre stage.

The Perfect Reading Nook

With Chair 05 as the centrepiece, your reading nook becomes a haven for comfort and style. Pair it with a side table, console table, coffee table or sideboard, and finish with cosy layers and accessories for a space you’ll love retreating to.

Whether you’re styling a compact corner or refreshing a larger living room, Chair 05 is the ultimate armchair to anchor your perfect reading nook. Shop our full furniture collection here for reading nook inspo.
