How to Create a Chill and Read Zone in Your Home for Your Mind, Body & Soul…

It has been proven to help your mind body and soul to have a quiet space to read in and the smallest of corners in a quiet area of your home could easily be changed into a reading Seat.

While I have been recovering from pneuonia I have done a lot of reading and found one chair in particular to be my absolute favourite to sit and get comfy and read. For people in pain there are a number of things you need to think about.

Firstly, is your chair comfortable enough that you can sit at it for a while without discomfort? Secondly, is there anywhere you can rest your feet (foot stool or reclyiner) as sitting cross legged for a length of time can cause havoc on your back. Thirdly how are you going to hold your book/kindle or phone to read your story? And, finally is the light good enough for reading?

My favourite chair is in my dining kitchen which faces the back garden where I can see my Robins and Blue Tits enjoyed the feast I have left them. I have a light behind me which I can switch on if its a dull day and I have a collapsable foot stool under the chair I can pull out to put my feet up. My chair has arms to it as I feel more comfortable resting my arms and I have a number of cushions around me with one to rest my book on top of small bean bag. This makes it perfect for me to just sit and read without causing me any pain.

I have searched the internet for some ideas on cosy corners for a reading area as this might inspire you to sort one out for yourself. You can only benefit from reading.
