Not every home has the space and luxury for a library or reading room, but all you really need is a comfortable chair and a good lamp to create a successful reading nook.  Using the braided rug adds warmth and country character as well as helping to carve out the space.  The two drawer cabinet shown is a perfect practical piece because it can house books underneath when not in use, and is large enough for ample lamp space.  This color palette could easily transition between summer and winter just by switching out the wall decor.  Here a serene winter scene hangs above the chair to set the tone for an afternoon with a good book and a warm cup of coffee.
