Hi, Homeowners!
This Bianca from your favorite channel MF Home TV and today we
will be doing three different looks in this corner to create
the perfect reading nook for everyone
again masculine does not mean it's only for men
and feminine does not mean it's only for women
yeah maybe it was designed to
be that way at first but hey it's 2019 people
you know seasons change
people change
feelings change
Nah joke lang drama natin
anyways
masculine and feminine are just styles and style is a personal choice
regardless of the gender so you do you
first thing to do is to add the bookcase
our color scheme for the masculine is dark and saturated
these bookcases with its
walnut color and towering heights are perfect for a masculine style
it brings out warmth and strength
since it's a reading nook we expect a lot of books
but filling the space with just bookcases makes everything bulky and intimidating
It makes you feel like you're in a forest and the bookcases are tall
trees and you're on your way to Grandma's house and a creature
it's following you
waiting...
waiting for you to fall down
so that it can...
so what is the solution to this well
wall shelves!
next we bring in the chair and of course there is no other better chair than a
recliner because there will be a lot of sitting in the reading nook right?
it has to be very comfy and will not hurt your bum even after a very long
time of sitting the recliner chair is perfect and amazing it has easy
transition from sitting down to reclining that you don't even have to
leave the chair to change position
to break the monotony of the tile pattern
we shall place an area rug underneath the armchair
it also gives warmth and makes the room look cohesive and of course we don't
leave chairs alone we'll give him a buddy
a side table in this way there's
functionality it's extra storage and it gives easy access to your reading
materials and a cup of drinks lastly because the room feels so dark
and musky already like a total mancave we shall add a pop of color that will
complement the entire room this wall art
and we're done take a look at our masculine style reading nook
okay now we'll move on to our next style feminine
we have vanquished the darkness of the walnut bookcases and replace them these
with these white bookcases and console table to give this room some light
for more leg area we are replacing the recliner chair with this chaise lounge
here you can snuggle under a throw while you can get happily lost in a book
as you can see there's a lot of empty space above the console table you can choose
to fill it up with wallpaper but if you don't want to break the bank the best
and quickest alternative are canvas paintings
Plus with wall art you can
easily change the look whenever you feel like it
besides the general light of the
room we shall place an accent light beside
the chaise lounge for extra lighting when reading and to add height to the
nook at the same time
lastly a bench is placed strategically under the console
table for additional seating you can easily pull it out when you have guests around
these Ottomans
ottoMEN?
Anyways these Ottomans can be
used as your side table all you have to do is use a tray to ground your stuff
with additional storage and additional seating this reading nook can easily
turn into an entertainment area
last but not the least is the fusion of the masculine and the feminine just like
our masculine style our bookcases are a dark and brooding walnut color we placed
one on top of the other to maximise the walls and add height to our reading nook
with just a bookcase and these empty walls it looks like the space is unbalanced
so we are going to fill one side with wall arts
this side will remain empty
because filling it up will make the space too cluttered and too overwhelming
Plus this side is the focal area of our room so it should be highlighted
the feminine touches will be found in our armchairs, ottoman, and decor
as you can see they are light-colored quite the opposite of our bookcases
our next colors will be neutral and will work either as
masculine or feminine for example
like these red throw pillows, and bronze lamp shade, and rug
so what style would you incorporate in your home or your soon-to-be home?
