items I'm a voracious reader. I don't know if you can tell by my extensive lists of favorite books and reading materials, but I own far too many books and not nearly enough shelves to hold them all. It's a curse I share with my partner, who literally fille...

Furnishings and Shelves
The hygge aesthetic is all about creating a cozy, welcoming ambience. Furniture is a big part of any room, so maximizing rustic warmth and comfort is crucial. If you're creating a comfy place to read, shelves are an absolute must.
I love this style of shelf. The size of the planks give it a sense of weight and sturdiness that I really appreciate, as I'm paranoid about shelves tipping over- I've nearly had one fall on me before, and it freaked me out! This piece manages to stra...
Benchwright Etagere Bookcase (61")
Rustic, simple and clean. The glass cabinet doors make it easy to see what's stored inside, and it makes for a great display for knick-knacks and mementos in your reading room. It'd work for books, too.
Aptos Glass Storage Cabinet (37.5")
If you're low on space, this combination bookshelf and desk is a great way to optimize it. You can have your computer or laptop on the desk, and be able to reach for your favorite books and texts to either side. The bridge overhead is the perfect pla...

Curves make any piece of furniture feel less harsh and more homey. This piece works beautifully as a stand alone shelf in a bedroom, if you want to devote a corner of your room into a reading nook.
Kropp Storage Bookcase
I cannot sit upright in a chair. I shuffle around, I twist, I fold my legs, I stretch out as much as possible- I'm a wreck with awful posture. I love chaise lounge chairs because they're wide open; I have space to relax. They're perfect for reading, ...
Davene Upholstered Chaise Lounge with Adjustable Backrest
A simple wall shelf with hanging pegs. It'd make a great spot to hang your favorite house robe or cardigan- I always wrap up in a comfy cardigan or blanket when I'm settling in to read.

The knotwork in this macrame piece is stunning! It makes me think of something elvish, like it wouldn't be out of place in Galadriel's palace in Lord of the Rings.

These hanging baskets are so pretty. I'd pair them with seasonal wreaths if I were you; I love arranging them to frame the back of a shelf or reading chair.

Rugs and Carpets
Cold floors? Hell no. Hardwood floors look gorgeous, no doubt, but the last thing you want is your feet feeling cold when you're trying to relax on the couch.
I love the rustic texture of this rug. It's simple, and it'd look right at home in the sitting room of a cottage or seaside beach house. I love this style!
Marina Handwoven Flatweave Rug
The pattern of this rug reminds me of tree bark, or a close-up image of the veins in a leaf. The texture is so nice on your feet, too, if you walk around without socks like I often do. Comfy!
Kelani Hand-Knotted Wool Rug
A very simple woven jute rug, perfect for placing under the legs of your couch or reclining chair so the feet don't scratch up your hardwood. It also looks very nice when paired with other neutral colors, like cream and light beige. Rustic and very B...

Lighting
Lighting makes a huge difference in any space. Bright white light can make any room feel frigid and chilly, but the soft flickering light of candles or lanterns can be really soothing. Besides, reading by candlelight is better.
This is the most adorable little table lamp! I love that it looks like an old-style iron lantern, and it fits right in with my favorite rustic modern style.

I love birch trees and aspens. This lamp looks exactly like a birch branch that you might find in the middle of the forest, and I love it!
Hallie Metal Table Lamp
The twisted driftwood look of this lamp makes for a gorgeous addition to your reading room. It pairs especially well with the macrame wall hangings I have in the decor section.
