Reading & margins
Arranging a comfortable reading corner
Start with what you have
Choose a chair and a place where a book can rest within reach. The space does not need to be separate from the rest of the room or filled with new furniture.
Notice the light
Try the spot at the time you usually read. Move a lamp or change the direction of the chair if reflections make the page awkward to see.
Keep the surface small
Leave room for the current book, a bookmark and a notebook. A modest selection makes it easier to sit down and begin without first arranging the entire room.
