My New Reading Corner!

Paid partnership, all words are my own:

Do you have a ‘lost corner’, in your home? A place that doesn’t really add any value?! The corner of our sitting room is not strictly ‘lost’ – it does serve as a nice spot for binge-watching Netflix – but that’s really about it – it’s too dark for anything else! With the imminent arrival of Autumn (there’s already a crispness in the air in Sweden – eeek!) and the days getting shorter (nooo) I finally decided to create a cosy spot that can also work as a reading corner.

Say hello to the Zuiver Shady Double wall Lamp from Houseology. I didn’t choose it just for the fabulous brass and grey powder coated steel finish (honest!) – I also love that the lamp heads tilt so it can be used for reading and putting pretty things in the spotlight such as the dried flowers or one of my prints.

I also added this little Zuiver side table (after all – it’s imperative to have somewhere to place your coffee / tea / glass of wine while you read, right?!). It was a tricky selection process since our sitting room is fairly monotone and that corner in particular is very tight. In the end, I was taken with the Carrara marble top and cast iron legs on this little table – both of which add texture in a pretty, yet subtle way.

How beautiful is that grey marble?! FYI for those of you who prefer a lighter look, it’s also available in white.

Now that it’s all in place, I’m wondering why on earth I didn’t do this ages ago! Isn’t that always the case? I owe a big thanks to the online interior design store Houseology – who recently added the Scandinavian-style Dutch brand to their fabulous list of brands. Tack!

I hope this inspires you to transform that lost corner of your home too!

In the meantime, if anyone’s looking for me this weekend, I’ll be right here with a book!

Have a wonderful couple of days friends, see you Monday!
