Bright And Sunny Neutrals
Let’s get started with a neutral color palette that actually would suit young boys or girls.
This boy’s reading nook design is light and bright and is the perfect place for you to spend time with your kids reading to them or playing.
Very Cute In Pastels
Pastel colors are often a go-to for toddler bedrooms and playrooms and reading corners are no exception.
This beautiful reading nook idea features pastel blue, green, and yellow and it is a giant teddy bear, which makes it that much more inviting!
Beautiful Bright Yellow and Blue
Add a touch of color by brightening up the yellows in an otherwise neutral blue color palette!
Gorgeously Pastel
This very cute book nook features a pretty pastel color palette and it honestly would work well for either girls or boys.
Of course, a bonus is that it is actually really easy to create with just a bean bag chair and a couple of teddy bears thrown into the mix!

Natural And Neutral
This beautiful boys’ reading nook idea is also quite neutral but what I love about it is that the space can grow with your son as he grows!
The desk and wall-to-ceiling bookshelves lend themselves to a timeless elegance that never gets old.
Combine that with huge windows and flowing curtains and you have a winning combination!
Authentically Cool
I love the color palette of the next couple of boys reading corners! The grays, blues, and maroon color palette create a cozy and comfy aesthetic that can’t be denied!
Rustic and Cozy
Just like the previous idea, this reading corner has a rustic and authentic feel to it and its giant beanbag chair is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a busy day at school!
Fairy Lights!
Who says fairy lights are just for girls?!
This very cool reading nook shows you how you can use fairy lights to create a cozy atmosphere without it being too girly!
If you’re worried though, simply cut back on the fairy lights and you’ll be left with something like this!
Reading Nook Teepee
I don’t think that any article about reading corners would be complete without a few teepee reading nooks! Here’s our first one!
Teepee, Flags and Stars
This reading nook idea is perfect for boys who want to hide from the world while they read their favorite book!
The front of the teepee can close and with all the throw cushions inside it can become the perfect haven for anyone – even mom 🙂
Dark Neutrals
A giant wall clock is the focal point of this reading nook.
Pairing it with light grays and whites creates the perfect reading spot for boys who aren’t into the brighter color palettes.
Books and Superheroes
This reading nook idea is perfect for younger teens who enjoy fantasy, superheroes, and everything in between.
There is no shortage of bookshelves and the giant beanbags make the space very comfy and inviting!
Comfy Bean Bag Chair
A simple idea that is so easy to DIY. Just add an oversized bean bag chair and your book nook is good to go!
Simple and Clean
Sometimes all you need is something simple!
This design uses basics to create a reading corner that anyone can easily DIY. The navy blue and white design is timeless and clean and is easy to replicate if you love this look.
Bright And Airy
This reading nook features a comfy couch right in front of a beautiful big window that lets in a ton of natural light.
Combined with the desk and bookshelves, it is the perfect spot to read, do homework, or just relax!
Modern and Minimalist
This idea is perfect for older teenage boys (or anyone looking for a cozy reading haven)! Its neutral color scheme complements the wooden bookshelves and floors.
There you have it…
