How to Make a Cosy Reading Nook in Your Home

If you know me, you’d know I LOVE books.

With bookshelves stuffed full of rainbow coloured books and a reading list a mile long, it was only natural that my home office was designed to be both a work space and a cosy reading nook.

It is seriously my favourite place in the whole house - and since I did a little redecorating this weekend, I thought I’d share my tips for creating the perfect reading nook!

So here are my top tips for creating an extra cosy reading nook! >>

In our last SIL Style post, I shared my tips for creating your own Industrial Inspired Office Space, however, with summer fast approaching I'm dreaming of a beach escape - so I thought I'd share my tips for creating your own Beach House Paradise at Home! 

Whilst I love modern and industrial inspired interiors, I also love the shabby chic beach-house style and now is the perfect time to refresh your home with a beach inspired look! To me, beach houses are relaxing and tranquil - with crisp, clean colours and splashes of seaside blues.

But you don't need to be by the beach to have that look - you can easily recreate the tranquil, calming atmosphere of a beach house in your own home. 

So let me share my tips for creating casual beach chic interiors >> 

SIL Style: Creating an Industrial Inspired Office Space

I always say I can't wait til Jesse and I have our own home so that we can have space - but the truth is, I can't wait to fill that space. 

I absolutely love interior design - to the point where I used to want to be an interior designer.... but then I left school and started my photography business and then started KISS Freelance so I could work as a photographer, copywriter, web designer, graphic designer, recipe development and social media consultant. 

Who knows... maybe one day I'll add freelance interior design to that list too ;P  

I've always loved mixing industrial and traditional/vintage elements (I mean, take a look at our wedding reception) and I love piecing together inspiration boards so I thought I'd share my tips for creating the perfect industrial inspired office space.
