If you love reading and need your peace and quite, you can create a reading nook against a bare wall by picking a special bookcase a seat that's easy to collapse into, a low-mounted light to illuminate books and decorations to your liking.

And this, we must add, is a perfect spot for curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee. Simply dedicated and perfectly set up for a quick escape.

Now, reading nooks are not only for reading. They're also for listening to music, using the latest technology (tablet, in my case), talking to a friend on the phone and last but not least, napping.

Well, we all need time out''!
