Create a Cozy Reading Nook

With the Orimba Bookcase

An Exciting Project

Transforming a corner of your home into a cosy reading nook can be an exciting project, and the Orimba Bookcase offers versatility beyond just book storage. With its generous size and sleek, modern design, the Orimba not only holds your favourite reads but can also serve as a room divider, creating a dedicated reading space within a larger room. Here’s how you can use it to craft a warm, inviting reading nook.

Choose the Perfect Spot

Identify a space in your living room, bedroom, or even a home office where you can create a nook. If you have an open-plan area, the Orimba Bookcase can serve as an elegant divider, giving your reading corner its own defined space without the need for walls​.Its height and open shelving design allow light to pass through while still creating a sense of separation, making it perfect for open-concept living spaces.

Leverage the Orimba Bookcase for Both Storage and Display

The Orimba is spacious enough to hold not only your favourite books but also decorative items, plants, or artwork that can enhance the nook’s aesthetic. The clean lines of the Orimba Bookcase provide an organised look, and the open shelves can be styled with personal touches that reflect your reading taste, making the space feel even more intimate​

For small spaces, the bookcase’s multi-functional design is a game-changer. It can function as a divider while storing a variety of items like baskets for blankets or extra cushions, which adds to the comfort of your nook. If you're aiming for a minimalist look, keep the shelves sparse, allowing the bookcase itself to stand out as a beautiful furniture piece.

Comfortable Seating is a Must

When designing your reading nook, prioritise comfort. A soft armchair or a plush bench positioned next to the bookcase is essential. If the nook is part of a larger room, consider placing your chair near the Orimba to utilise its back as a subtle boundary.Β 

Add the Coorah Chair for Ultimate Comfort

With its deep seat and plush upholstery inviting you to sit back and relax for hours of reading, it has the functional design as well as its sleek, modern aesthetic complementing the Orimba’s minimalist styling while providing the cosy, lounge-worthy comfort you need​

The Coorah Chair’s versatile style means it fits beautifully into any cornerβ€”whether you're creating a nook in a bedroom, living room, or home office. Pair it with a soft throw blanket and a couple of cushions to elevate the cosiness even further.

Create the Right Lighting Ambiance

Good lighting is crucial for any reading nook. If your nook is in a dimmer part of the room or your space lacks natural light, supplement with a stylish floor lamp or wall-mounted sconces. Use warm-toned bulbs to enhance the cosy feel of your space. The Orimba’s open design allows you to play with light placementβ€”position a lamp on one of its shelves for a soft glow​

Use the Orimba to Enhance Functionality

The Orimba Bookcase is perfect for creating both visual and functional layers in your reading space. Its height and openness allow it to divide your room while still keeping it connected. This flexibility makes it ideal for apartments or multi-use spaces, where you need to create distinct areas without cluttering the space with walls or heavy furniture

Personalise Your Space

To make your nook inviting and unique, consider personalising the Orimba with meaningful items. Add framed photos, small sculptures, or plants to the shelves to break up rows of books and bring a sense of calm to your nook. Decorate the rest of the area with soft rugs, a small side table for your tea or coffee, and perhaps even scented candles to enhance the atmosphere​

By using the Orimba Bookcase as both a stylish storage solution and a space divider, you can create a cosy, well-defined reading nook that serves as a peaceful retreat. Whether in a large living area or a compact apartment, the Orimba’s versatility allows it to adapt to your needs while maintaining a modern, sustainable aesthetic.
