Comfort First
To make the most of your moment, the furniture is very important. Choose an armchair for reading, a comfortable sofa, a chaise longue, or even a pallet bed. It's also worth thinking about support accessories, such as a side table to accommodate the book and a drink, a knitted blanket for the colder days, or a giant puff. Then, just play and dream with your eyes open.
Lighting is indispensable
Pendant lamps, charming sconces, a floor lamp, or a lamp on the side table are indispensable for reading at night. Thus, it is possible to create a well-lit environment without losing comfort and decoration. Cold lighting helps maintain concentration, while warm-toned lamps may increase drowsiness, but they are cozier.
