Rooms to Love: Book Nook

All book lovers would jump at the opportunity to carve out a cottage style space like this that is dedicated solely to curling up with a good book. The large built-in window seat provides a creative and unique space that is large enough for the whole family to curl up with their favorite books. The natural sunlight through the window is perfect for afternoon reading, while the sconces provide the task lighting needed when your book is just too good to put down, even after the sun has set. We love the way the thick drapes frame the book nook, and can be drawn when you want a little more serenity. Pile on the plush pillows and soft quilts for added warmth, comfort, and style. #farmhousedecor #cozycorners #cottagedecor #roomstolove https://cottagehomefurniture.com/

Design Tip: Sizing and Hanging Chandeliers

Chandeliers are an important design element in the home that bring both fashion and function to a space. Lighting defines and accentuates the ambiance you want to create in your home by creating either a soft and relaxing space, or a bright and productive space. Just like colors, the lighting you choose for a space can drastically affect the way you feel, see, and perform tasks in a room. #chandeliers #cottagechandeliers #cottagelighting #coastalchandeliers #designtip https://cottagehomefurniture.com
