This exquisite reading nook embodies a perfect balance of functionality and aesthetics. The space is organized around a circular wooden table that becomes the central element of the composition. The strategic placement of two corner bookcases with white frames creates a sense of a secluded retreat while maximizing the use of space. The polished wooden surface of the table with its distinctive cross-shaped base adds architectural interest and structural integrity.
The lighting deserves special attention: a vintage pendant lamp with brass elements and frosted glass creates warm, diffuse lighting ideal for reading. Its design echoes the brass sconces above the bookshelves, providing visual consistency. The olive-green walls contrast with the white trim, creating a calm yet visually interesting background.
The curved benches with ikat-style print add a touch of exoticism and provide flexible seating. The vase with live maple branches on the table brings an element of nature, softening the formality of the interior. The interior design demonstrates a masterful combination of classical elements with contemporary accents, creating a space that is simultaneously cozy and functional. This approach can be applied when designing a home library or an intimate dining area in a country house.
