You might be tempted to read outdoors in this weather, but whether you are afraid of overheating, or don’t want to be come a target for insects, here are some alternatives to reading in the garden.
Everything close to hand with super-comfortable seating. From Decoist.
For the more dreamy amongst you, an indoor hammock is a solution. From Remodelista.Window seats are always popular, especially with such generous windows. From My Domaine.The reading nook in the well-stocked library is always a refuge. From Tumblr.Another home library with comfortable seating, from Pinterest.Messy but atmospheric, this chateau library from Pinterest.And if you really can’t stay away from the beautiful outdoors, here is a veranda reading nook, from housely.com
Although since I have seen the most comfortable armchair in the world, everything else seems a pale imitation… The chair is this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/BZZBhlelIwg/
Ha, ha, yes, hammocks are nicer in theory than in practice. Mind you, we didn’t have two trees close enough together in the garden, so I had to use one of those hammocks with its own stand, and they are even trickier to get in and out of.
Oh, these are all so lovely, Marina Sofia! I could imagine disappearing into a good book in any of them. But the first one – from the Decoist – appeals the most. I love it!
Oh that hammock! And the chair link! Gorgeous! However the reality of my book collection and reading area as definitely closer to the message and atmospheric one!
Indoor hammock! My mind is blown…I’m going to try and work out where I can put one in my tiny flat 😀

How am I getting through life without that chair?!
It has to be the last one for me. I hope it comes with a friendly waiter refreshing my mint tea for me.
Yes, it does look like a waiter is a must with that last image. Iced coffee for me, please!
I like the look of the ‘messy’ room – and I’ve tried a hammock in the garden, but it was most uncomfortable. 🙂

I love the third one, windows all the way! And I have something similar to the last one on my terrace, it’s perfect!

I have a messy but atmospheric reading room. Trouble is I don’t like it. Can’t find a thing ….

I love the veranda reading nook.
I vote for the window seat! But would I manage to concentrate on the reading with that kind of a view?
