Reading is an incredible past time that can help expand your mind and develop your critical thinking skills. For many, it is also a great escape from the stresses of life. However, getting the chance to read is often few and far between. With lots of distractions in a typical household, it may be difficult to find the opportunity to read without being disturbed. One excellent method is to create a space that is just yours. Here are a few ideas on how to create a space that will allow you to read without distraction.
Reading Nook
If you happen to have a room that isn’t used overmuch or even an over-sized closet that doesn’t have a lot in it, you can completely transform it into your own little reading nook. One excellent way to do this is to put up soundproofing. There are plenty of different types and sizes of foam that can be applied to the walls with ease. This will limit the amount of noise that enters your little nook and provides you with peace and quiet instead. Make sure you fill that space with comfortable pillows and furniture, too, so you can relax in complete comfort.
Permanent Blanket Fort
Did you ever make a blanket fort as a child? If so, then perhaps you remember how safe you felt inside of it. Perhaps that was even where adventures began. Just because you’ve grown up doesn’t mean you can’t still benefit from a blanket fort. Take a large blanket or curtain and create a permanent fort in a room with the least amount of activity. String up some lights, grab a comfortable chair or large pillow, and you have yourself the perfect escape to do a little bit of reading. You may just find that your imagination is able to run even freer.
Custom Deck
If reading outside is one of your favorite things to do but you hate also be subject to the mercy of bugs, then you may want to consider a custom designed deck. This deck can be screened in to protect you from bugs. Or you can simply have it constructed in such a way that allows you to see fantastic views while you relax and read. Being outside and away from the distractions within the home is a perfect method for ensuring you get to read when you want to.
Everyone needs an escape now and then. With some of these ideas in hand, you can create the perfect space for reading and limit distractions.
