Proper lighting is essential for creating a cozy and inviting reading nook.

Layer lighting sources to provide adequate illumination for reading while creating a warm and inviting ambiance.

Utilize natural light during the day by positioning your reading nook near a window or skylight. Supplement natural light with task lighting such as reading lamps, floor lamps, or wall sconces to provide focused illumination for reading at night.

Incorporate dimmer switches or smart lighting controls to adjust the brightness and create the perfect atmosphere for reading.
