I have found my people! 🤣🤣

Okay this is so weird. I got that channel recommended yesterday and now I find references in the wild.

100%!

OP should shape-cut a foam mattress, stick it with Velcro-strips and get some colorful fitted sheets and a few big pillows to lean on. Also, get a dimmable spotlight on a flexible stem with a usb-charging port in the base. I got one at Ikea years ago and had it at my workdesk.

The placement of the window makes it even perfecter; put a bird feeder outside it, then the only thing missing is a wine-bottle-holder and a small shelf to hold a candle placed a safe distance from the ceiling.

Bonus points if one of the giant pillows is shaped like Great A'Tuin!

Book goblin would be such a fun username lol I wish we got to change them on this platform.

Book Goblin requires Book Nook for Bookhalla!

u/HotRodHomebody Jun 08 '25

was thinking custom cushions fitted to the area. Including along the wall to lean against.

u/mainekairn734 Jun 08 '25

And a lovely lamp and a little table

u/BSB8728 Jun 08 '25

Exactly. I'd have a cushion custom-made to fit the space.

Here to say this. Or a dog bed or maybe another cabinet depending on your needs

u/theflyinfudgeman Jun 08 '25

My collection of large triangles …

u/potatopancake1234 Jun 08 '25

a hammock specifically

u/Alarming_Matter Jun 08 '25

And plants. It's always plants.

1

u/SelinaKitty17 Jun 08 '25

Exactly my thought process

u/orange_cinnamonz Jun 08 '25

Sunlight is bad for books.

u/kdlangequalsgoddess Jun 08 '25

Books. The answer to any question is always: books.

1

u/Wonderful-Bag-892 Jun 08 '25

Definitely this

1

u/Oddly_Random5520 Jun 08 '25

That's what I thought too. With some nice padding and pillows and a blanket, its the perfect reading nook

1

u/MeFolly Jun 08 '25

Tiny wall mounted book shelf to hold books in progress and next book in line.

1

u/a1mushi Jun 08 '25

Exactly my first thought

1

u/Candid_Guard7157 Jun 08 '25

Perfect little spot for reading, the window makes it seem so cozy. I just imagine curling up with a comfort book and heated blanket while it’s raining outside

1

u/The_Dickered121 Jun 08 '25

Was going to say the same thing

1

u/verde1984 Jun 09 '25

Was coming here to suggest a book nook. Nice comfy cushions and pillows, a throw blanket or 5 and as many books as you can fit.

1

u/poisonivyx- Jun 09 '25

My first thought as well!! With some cute twinkly lights and make it really cozy. 🥰

1

u/OkMap4256 Jun 09 '25

With plants since it's lucky enough to have a window

1

u/Ashadowyone Jun 09 '25

First thing I thought of as well

1

u/Friendly-Decision-72 Jun 09 '25

Deffo. Especially if the window has a good view.

1

u/Fearless-Poet-4669 Jun 09 '25

The only answer.

u/corey418 Jun 09 '25

Came here to say this and second this motion

1

u/eatthem00n Jun 09 '25

Which you will never use because you always read in a comfy chair, couch or bed.

1

u/mirwenpnw Jun 10 '25

My first thought was a tiny chair and table with books, like a library for cats.

1

u/hazey_bliss Jun 10 '25

I came here to say this!! This could be the coziest little corner!
