How to Create a Cozy Winter Reading Nook

A cozy spot by the window with an opened book and glasses sitting on it. Pillows, a blanket, and a coffee mug make it look particularly cozy

As the temperature drops, a well-designed reading nook can provide a warm escape. Whether it’s a whole room or a quiet corner, the goal is to make it a welcoming and comfortable space that fits your style. With these tips, you’ll create a snug refuge perfect for curling up with a great book all winter long.


  • Location. Start by choosing a quiet area where you can focus, preferably by a window to let in natural light.

  • Seating. Select a comfy armchair, or build a cushioned window seat. The goal is to have something you can sink into for a good, long reading session.

  • Personal touches. Make your nook inviting by adding a plush blanket and a few soft pillows for warmth and comfort. A small side table is perfect for holding your hot cocoa and snacks.

  • Lighting. Adequate lighting is essential. Pair a stylish floor lamp with natural light, allowing you to enjoy your reading sanctuary at any time of day.

  • Style. Whether you’re a minimalist or enjoy a mix of décor, let your nook reflect your style. Choose items that make you feel at home, like a plant, framed photo, or artwork to personalize the space.
