How can I create a cosy outdoor reading nook?

Creating an outdoor reading nook doesn't need to be complicated, but it does need to become your happy space. You want to sit down, book in hand, and just think “Ah, perfect!”. For that reason, we've put together a simple guide to creating your perfect cosy outdoor reading nook.

Choose the Perfect Spot

Choosing the perfect spot is something that shouldn't be overlooked. Depending on your personal preference, you may want to consider whether you want to be in a sunny or shady spot. You'll also want to consider what else is in close proximity to your reading nook. For example, do you want to be close to the house for topping up or drinks and snacks? Do you want to be further away from where the kids are playing to minimise noisy disruptions? Do you have a lovely tree or green area which would make the ideal backdrop?

When it comes to furniture, it's important to choose comfortable and sturdy seating. Your choice in seating can make all the difference when it comes to lounging outside with your book.

Starting with a classic garden chair for those who like to read solo. Our Torrington Garden Arm Chair features a curved seat for added back support and comfort. It can also be used with the footstool to convert in to a lounger for ultimate relaxation.
