Professional reading corner setup - book storage, seating, and lighting arranged to create a cosy spot where children want to sit and read.
### A Place To Love Books
Children read more when there's an inviting space for it. **A proper reading corner** with accessible books, comfortable seating, and good light becomes a favourite spot.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Front-facing book storage matters for young children. If they can see the covers, they choose books. Spine-out shelving means they never pick anything.

Frequently Asked Questions about Reading corner setup in Ottery St Mary
What's included in a reading corner setup?
Book storage at child height, comfortable seating positioned, good lighting arranged, maybe a canopy or tent for cosiness. We create the space, you fill it with books.
Where should a reading corner go?
Somewhere quiet - bedroom corner, under stairs, window alcove. Natural light is nice but not essential. Away from toys that distract.
What furniture do I need?
Front-facing book storage works best for young children. A beanbag or cushions for seating. A lamp if natural light is limited. We can advise on what works for your space.
Is this different from a homework station?
Yes - reading corners are for relaxed reading, not work. Comfortable seating instead of desks, cosier atmosphere, focus on books being accessible and inviting.
