Reading retreats: How to create a comfy hideaway

This federation style room has a beautiful bay window seat with leadlight glass that stretches all the way to the ceiling.

A cosy space for one can be as easy as a stylish chair, side table and a vase of pretty flowers.

The louvered window and blue accents have us dreaming of the seaside.

This chaise is placed to catch the morning sun.

A bright corner is restful and practical, thanks to the storage beneath the bench seat.

Feet up, cup of tea, good book = happy days.
