Reading Corner

Eclectic Living Room, Cambridgeshire

At one end of this Victorian sitting room was an unused space. Our clients have so many books it made sense to create a reading corner. We toyed with the idea of doing the standard fitted bookshelves, but this would not fit in with the contemporary relaxed look we were aiming for. This reading corner was made up of three metal bookshelves that were placed closely together. With the addition of the angled reading lights above the shelving it looks like a bespoke piece of metal work.
