4 Cozy Reading Nooks You’ll Want in Your Home Right Now Constructing a reading nook doesn’t have to be hard. Sometimes all you need is lots of pillows and a little unused space. Reading nooks are also a great way to use dead, unused, or awkward space within a home. Nooks can help maximize living space and provide additional seating, along with providing a personal sanctuary. With these four easy DIY reading nook projects, it won’t be long before you find yourself dreaming of getting lost in a good book. 1. Make Use of Dead Space with a Corner Bench Do you have a dead corner in your house that’s just…there? A great remedy for that empty space is a corner bench. Creating an L-shaped bench will maximize your space. Not only will it provide additional seating, but it can also become storage.

DIY GRAPHIC LAUNDRY BASKETS
TOTAL TIME: One Hour (Plus Dry Time)
SUPPLIES
Seagrass or Woven Baskets (The weaving must be "flat" for the stickers to adhere! Try this seagrass basket that's already painted!)
2" Letter Stickers
Matte Mod Podge
Foam Brush
Fabric-Safe Craft Paint + Paint Brush (Optional)
DIRECTIONS
1. IF you want to paint any part of your basket, do that first. We painted the bottom of one of ours using pink craft paint. Let dry and then paint a second coat. Let dry again.
2. Decide on the phrase you want to write and plan out how you want to lay them out. For the seagrass baskets, you can fit two lines, for the larger Target baskets you can fit more!
3. I recommend starting in the middle with your words and working your way out so that you ensure everything is centered. Place your letters and press them firmly to adhere them to the baskets.
4. Make sure all the corners of the letters are pressed onto the baskets and then cover the entire basket in a coat of mod podge (including the painted part, it will help keep it from chipping!). Let dry completely, then cover in the second coat of mod podge. Let dry again.
NOTE: If you prefer to paint your letters on, so you can use a variety of colors, you can use the letter stickers as stencils. Place them on the basket, trace around them then remove them and paint with your desired colors! You'll likely have to do two coats to cover completely.
