Your Autumn Escape: Creating a Cosy Reading Nook in Your Conservatory

The autumn season is almost upon us. 

The shift in changing seasons with the crisp air, the smell of freshly fallen rain and the desire to find a warm and peaceful spot indoors is becoming more prominent. 

You will start to feel the wanting feeling of escaping the bustle and stress of your everyday life to enjoy a moment of quiet reflection, perhaps with a good book.

That’s where your conservatory poses as the ultimate, often underutilised, space for this purpose. Even in the colder months, they are the perfect bridge between your home and beauty of the autumnal outdoors. 

Why Your Conservatory Is The Perfect Spot

Your conservatory is packed with many benefits to make it the perfect spot for your cosy reading nook.

The key advantage to your conservatory is the abundance of natural light that it gives to your space. This is especially important when it comes to reading your book without straining your eyes. 

During the autumn season, even though it is picturesque outside, it is not the most comfortable with the crisp temperatures and dampness from the rain. That’s why your conservatory is ideal for creating a unique experience of being in nature whilst staying warm and dry. Nothing beats the pretty view of the brown and gold leaves falling from the trees or the soft pitter patter of rain against your glass.

Not only is your conservatory the perfect place for natural lighting and autumnal panoramic views, but it is also ideal for finding tranquillity. Your conservatory is a separate and peaceful retreat from your main living areas, making it much easier for you to switch off and relax.

Building Your Cosy Reading Nook

The Foundation

The most important part of building your cosy reading nook is to start with the foundation – your seating. You could choose a comfortable armchair, chaise long, or small squashy sofa. Perhaps you could opt for something made from a soft texture like velvet or wool to create a snug foundation.

The Soft Touches

To add to your comfort you could also add some seasonal flair. Adding cushions or a throw in autumnal colours such as deep red, burnt orange or forest green will make your space feel extra comfortable.

The Light Source

Even though you will have natural light during the day, you will need it for the evenings. A stylish floor lamp or small table lamp will do the job perfectly adding the right amount of light to create your warm and inviting atmosphere. 

The Essentials

Nothing beats a good reading session than having a cup of tea or a delicious hot chocolate by your side. A small side table would be a great option, allowing you to have easy access to your cuppa. To keep your space extra organised you could even add a bookshelf or a basket for magazines to keep your space tidy.

The Finishing Touches

Last but not least, the finishing touches. These are the small things that make a big difference. In this case, creating the perfect atmosphere is key to finalising your cosy reading nook. Pumpkin spice or cinnamon scented candles would give your space a lovely autumnal smell. You could add a string of fairy lights, a plant or autumn themed art to complete your look.
