1. Start With a Plush Reading Chair

Every cozy nook begins with seating that you never want to leave. A giant plush chair gives you room to curl up with your current read and a hot drink. The supportive armrests make it perfect for long reading sessions.

2. Layer in Cozy Textiles

Fall is all about soft layers. A fleece throw blanket draped over your chair not only keeps you warm but adds texture and depth to your space. Mix materials like fleece, chunky knits, and faux fur for that hygge-inspired aesthetic.

3. Create Warm Ambient Lighting

Nothing sets the tone of a reading nook quite like lighting. Skip the harsh overheads and go for soft, glowing accents. These diamond-shaped battery-operated lamps are perfect for a subtle twinkle-lit effect that feels both cozy and magical while the "Cozy Season" candle can add amazing scent with the ambiance.

4. Add Plants for Natural Warmth 🌱

Fall might be when nature outside starts to fade, but that’s exactly why you should bring greenery indoors. A trailing pothos, a snake plant, or even a faux option adds a grounding, fresh energy to your nook. Pair with a stylish planter to tie it into your cozy decor.

At Simply Planty, we always tie comfort to greenery — even the coziest corner feels more alive with a little plant magic.

5. Style Seasonal Decor & Storage

Finish off your nook with thoughtful details. Add a woven basket for blankets, a rustic tray for tea and snacks, or even a small bookshelf for your TBR pile. Not only do these extras look great, they keep your cozy nook functional.
