After that, I will occasionally update some original topics, and at the same time, I will keep pace with the times.
Not every family needs a separate study. ?
On the one hand, in the first-tier cities with high housing prices, one more room is simply a luxury; On the other hand, considering how much time we usually spend studying at home, it seems that we don't need special "study" to support the occasional three-minute whim every month.
Sometimes we take reading too seriously, as if we must have a separate room, quiet, spacious and bright, and it is best to have a big boss-style desk and chair, so that we can study hard. ?
But actually reading is just a hobby. It can be study or entertainment. Why not make yourself comfortable? ?
Besides, reading is not just reading. Read the official account of WeChat, don't you?
1. What kind of house needs a reading corner?
Home design should be practical, rather than copying other people's designs out of thin air. ?
Therefore, before starting work, friends need to consider a question clearly-do I really need a reading corner? ?
The following four situations are more suitable for opening a reading corner at home:
1. There is no independent study. Buying a small house with a bedroom and a pillow is almost a luxury. The standard of a large room like a study will certainly not be the first factor in choosing a room. Therefore, if there is no study at home, you might as well open a reading corner.
2. Have reading habits and needs. If you like the feel of paper books as much as Jingjing, or enjoy leisure time with e-books, then the reading corner is definitely your best choice. ?
3. Is there at least 1m at home? An empty corner. If the home is full, it is best not to add extra burden, and it is the same to make rational use of other areas. ?
4. The daily reading time should be within 1 hour. If it exceeds 1 hour, you can consider professional tables and chairs, as well as independent study.
If you think about it, then the second practical question:?
2. Where should I choose the reading angle?
Generally speaking, the placement of reading angles can be selected at these angles:
? ▏ balcony ▕?
Having a balcony at home is the first choice for reading corner! Imagine that the sun shines through the glass, and you are sitting in a rocking chair reading a book with light music in your ear. A long day. Isn't that the reason for trying to make money?
Living room?
It is more appropriate for ordinary people to call it "living room". As the largest public space with the best light, the whole family can rest together. Reading in the living room can take care of your own world and reunite with your family. ?
Of course, this sacrifice is a little peaceful, especially when there are a group of bears at home.
▏ bedroom ▕?
For some solitude and quiet time, arrange reading corner in the bedroom. ?
If it's not as big as a bedroom, it's really a waste just to sleep every night. ?
But when reading in the bedroom, you must resist the desire to go to bed at any time, otherwise you will definitely fall asleep.
By the window?
A table, a chair, you can look at the distant scenery when you are tired, and you can pretend to be in a roadside cafe in Paris. ?
? Corner? ?
Under the stairs, in the long corridor ... as long as there is a corner of1m 2 at home, it can be used as a reading corner. Small huxing can also have a study dream, and the area is not wasted at all.
In addition, your requirements for reading quality also determine the position of reading angle. ?
The occasional reading needs can even be completed on your sofa and dining table. ?
I won't tell you that the living room of the house I used to live in didn't have air conditioning, so I lit a stove in winter, pulled a bar stool and sat in the kitchen reading and had hot tea to drink. Of course you need good ventilation?
3. How to create a reading corner?
Before you start, see if you study for leisure or study. ?
Leisure reading is purely for recreation, the content of the book is easy to read, and physical comfort is the most important. ?
Learning to read is to acquire knowledge, and it is often necessary to take notes. In addition to the desktop where you need to write, lights and chairs should also keep people awake. ?
Occasionally work in a home laptop, and you can also refer to learning to read for typesetting.
A dispensable bookshelf?
I don't think there must be a bookshelf in the reading corner. ?
Bookshelves can be understood as the "home" of books, and books stay here for a long time. Reading corner is a "resort" for books. Take at most one or two books at a time, and then go home after reading them. ?
Read one book after another locally. A small coffee table or basket is good for keeping books at hand. The unfinished books can be put aside for the time being and picked up next time. If you read more magazines and newspapers every day, a low cabinet with large storage capacity will be more convenient. ?
The bookshelf can be set in the same room as the reading corner. For example, the reading corner is in the corner of the living room, and there needs to be a bookshelf in the living room for easy access. ?
Although the reading corner is not close to the bookshelf, if it is too far away, the book will get lost around the reading corner. As time goes by, books will be all over the reading corner.

? A comfortable chair?
For leisure reading, the chair can be more comfortable, and the single armchair is the best choice. ?
The longer you read, the higher your requirements for chairs should be. If you just flip through the photo album, you can sit directly on the carpet or lazy sofa or bed.
We believe that a chair suitable for long reading should have the following elements:?
Comfortable sitting depth (the distance from the knee to the backrest), sitting height (the height from the seat surface to the ground), seat inclination (the degree to which the seat makes you lean back), backrest height and armrest height. ?
A suitable reading chair can make you sit very relaxed, but your legs can still be placed on the ground naturally, and your waist and back can rest on the backrest (which can be adjusted by headrest). When your hand is naturally placed on the armrest, you can just finish reading the words in the book, so that you won't be too tired to lift your hand, and you won't feel that your hand is "pinching" your body.
Some recliners will make you have to put your feet up on the footstool, which may be too relaxing and easy to fall asleep while reading. This kind of recliner usually has too large a seat inclination angle, so even if there are handrails, you should hold the book high. ?
There are also some chairs whose inclination angle is too large or whose cushions are too soft and their backs are not high enough, which makes you feel it difficult to lower your head. Such a chair is also very harmful to your neck. ?
Learn to read, the chair can be a dining chair or a computer chair, and the height should match the table. Just refer to the correct writing posture.
▲ This very famous Yi Musi lounge chair is actually not a very suitable chair for reading, because you will sleep too comfortably on it.
? ▏ Shun Guang ▕?
Read books in balconies, living rooms and other places with sufficient natural light, and properly cover books with gauze curtains to avoid direct sunlight. After all, the teacher told us not to read in the strong light when we were young.
If lighting is used, there should be enough light in the room besides the books. ?
If the light gap between the surrounding environment and books is too big, it will do great harm to the eyes, which is the same as watching TV without turning off the lights. ?
Some floor lamp styles, the lampshade can transmit light up and down, and the light can not only illuminate books, but also illuminate the ceiling, bringing soft ambient light.
Dedicated reading lights will bring a better reading experience, and it is just right to turn on the headlights in the room. ?
The spotlight on the ceiling can illuminate the book from behind you without casting a shadow on it. It is also a great choice, but make sure the position of the reading angle when installing the spotlight. ?
Warm light/yellow light (low color temperature) makes people feel relaxed and warm, while cold light/white light (high color temperature) keeps people awake, but whether you choose warm light or white light, it will be better for your eyes to be consistent with other lights in the room.
Good enough desktop?
An ordinary desk will be 60cm deep, and a narrow desktop with arms down for writing will be 45cm deep and 60cm wide, which makes full use of the space and is enough for reading within 1 hour. ?
Ordinary 32, 16, A4 books can be written comfortably. The depth of the table can be compressed to 40cm without writing. ?
Leave a width of at least 90 cm beside the table, so as to move the chair away and sit down smoothly. If you want to stay, you need at least the width of 1㎡.
▏▕ Is there anything else that makes you more comfortable?
When reading, the basic function of sitting furniture is to meet comfort, reduce fatigue and improve reading efficiency, which involves waist support. Adding some cushions properly can effectively support your waist.
Then, babies with obsessive-compulsive disorder who always feel uncomfortable with their legs can consider starting with a footstool, like the one below, and putting a tripod when reading.
Then, you can consider buying a storage basket, putting commonly used books in it, and matching it with some green plants. ...
Also, use a blanket to cover your body to prevent cold, and you can sleep when you are sleepy!
Finally, when you have created your favorite reading corner and are ready to enjoy it, there are still some precautions to remind you quietly:
For friends who have pets at home, it's best to put your books in a high place or seal them. Otherwise, children who can't tell whether they are newspapers or thread-bound books will tear them all up! ?
Books placed by the window or on the balcony need to consider the influence of sunlight on your books. Put them near the ground, carefully mop the floor or sprinkle water to make the books wet.
A friend said that there is no extra corner at home to pretend to be a reading corner, but he wants to meet the needs of reading relaxation, so come directly to a bedside table!
