I’ve got my own reading room

[MinnieMountain]

We’ve moved DS from the small bedroom to the big one, so I now have my own reading room 😁

It’s the size of 2 double beds.

So far I have in it:
a cosy chair
a footstool
standing lamp
small table
bookcases

One wall has some drawers with bed linen in (unavoidable).

What else should I add to make to make the most of my lovely room?

I have my own reading room too. I love it.

I have a lovely wicker hamper which has lots of soft blankets in if for when I want to wrap up.

You'll also need scented candles to add to the cozy.

And a nice reed diffuser to keep it smelling permanently lovely.

How are you doing for houseplants? You'll need an aloe vera to purify the air. Then you'll need a few beautiful plants, and maybe a couple of downright weird-looking ones.

How about an antique map? Or a beautiful piece of art on the wall?

Maybe a gilded mirror to make the space look/feel bigger and also to add opulence?

A mini fridge so you don't have to go out of your safe place!😊

That's so great! Agree blankets must be had. Enjoy it.

Lovely! Plants, scented candles, blanket basket, heated blanket depending on how warm your home is, a little retro DAB radio? a secret stash of gin

Sorry I have nothing useful to add other than I'm jealous 😂 it's my dream to have a reading room (at the moment I just have a bookshelf in my working from home office which isn't quite the same)
Definitely agree with the suggestion of lovely scented candles & cosy blankets. & don't forget a 'do not disturb' sign on the door!

How absolutely lovely. Nothing to add, Maybe some hanging plants? It’s my latest fad. And I’m about to hang 2 fairly old prints of maps. Not sure antiques but lovely and old. So I’d second that.

Soft and warm blanket, plants or freshly cut flowers, nice smelling candle and soft fluffy rug.:)

How lovely!
A soft blanket, cushions, a cosy salt lamp- I l love the glow they give. A radio or Sonos for music, a piece or art or photos you love. A foot rest?
How much time are you spending in it?? daft question, a travel kettle or mini fridge. Slippers.
A plant. Candles or the led ones even. A posh diffuser. plus a lock for the door😳🥰

Blankets, mini fridge, rug, some fairy lights

Ooooooo zennnnn

Jealous!! Enjoy!

I LOVE how @KStockHERO uses the word need for everything!!
I agree you do NEED everything on their list 😁
May I add a good bottle of whisky on your 'need' list. Nothing better than a cosy evening with a good book, blankets and a Churchill measure of a single malt

A wine fridge
A candle
A lock on the inside.

The time to use it!!

I wouldn't want a lot of things people have suggested. But I would like a nice cosy blanket & pillows, and pretty fairy lights.

I’ve got one too! It’s my absolute dream come true.

I knew I could rely on you lot 😄

Cosy blanket is a great idea. I wonder if I could find a big Indian shawl to drape around me?

It definitely needs a picture on the blank wall.

I kill house planets and I’m not bothered about scented things.

The window looks a bit stark as it has white solid shutters. I’m not sure that I want fairy lights on it. Hmm.

I used to have a spare room that I pretended was my single girl flat- no one was allowed in there. Enjoy your sanctuary. 👍

A deep rug, I'd go sheep skin but if that's not your thing something colourful or just ones that makes you happy. But sounds fab!

Photo?

(Very envious)

We really really need a photo.

Fairy lights, blue tooth speakers,

A massive bolt on door to keep everyone out!

So envious...

I haven't got space for a reading room however I do have my space under the stairs it is decorated with bookcase wallpaper have a bankers of lamp, small wooden shelving and large antique style world map, all I need now is a very expensive leather Chesterfield recliner which unfortunately is well out my price bracket

I have a single quilt and frequently a hot water bottle and I drag the sofa into that corner until I can get a proper chair.

When I'm in there snacks are a must usually cheese and crackers and a glass of wine or can of cider and peace and quiet

A bitter pic of the lamp

Grrr sideways pick of bitter ( ?) Lamp

Oh I'm do jealous of you all!

A wing back chesterfield would look fab Dean I’m getting a Sherlock Holmes vibe.
