Embellish THE STORY

Reading is all about escapism and taking time out of your busy day to do something just for you, so decorate your book nook to reflect this. Being in nature has the same rejuvenating effect, so a gallery wall of prints and photos of lush greenery will have your corner feeling like an escape from it all – and don’t forget to add the real thing with potted plants as well. Finish it off with candles in fresh, outdoorsy scents, dried grasses and natural-toned pots and vases to complete your reading retreat.
