While reading has become a habit for many, for others it remains an activity that appears year after year as one of their top personal goals. And often, reading more isn't just about finding a good book; it also involves making time for it amidst all the responsibilities and tasks of daily life, and above all, having the ideal place that motivates you to read and allows you to turn this moment into a truly enjoyable hobby.
When you live close to nature, like in our residential homes within the Villahermosa country club area, finding a suitable reading space at home becomes easy. Having a designated reading area allows you to enjoy your favorite beverage, disconnect from outside noise, reduce distractions, and treat yourself to a moment of calm and concentration without leaving home.
The right place for you
Bedrooms often become a haven of well-being, the perfect place to take your time and read, whether upon waking, after eating, or in the moments before going to sleep.
When you have a spacious bedroom with natural light and good ventilation (like those in our residential homes), deciding to read in your room becomes much easier and more natural. On the other hand, our residential homes for sale and pre-sale in the Villahermosa country area have multiple spaces that can become your new reading nook if you prefer not to read in your bedroom. For example, the TV room can be an excellent option; in the case of the models Scandiano Deluxe, The extra room on the ground floor overlooking the pool can be transformed into the family's new reading nook. And in the model Vittoria, You have a fully customizable area that can become a cozy space to continue fostering the habit of reading at home.
If you choose to read outdoors, such as in your garden, on your patio, or in the green areas of your residential complex, and take advantage of the moment while the children enjoy some of the outdoor amenities, remember to find a spot that doesn't cast uncomfortable shadows. Look for a good seat to read in, as lying directly on the grass or on hard surfaces can be uncomfortable for your posture and affect your concentration.
Lighting is always key
Lighting is key, not only for a good reading experience, but also for taking care of your eye health.
Reading in natural light will always be the best option. Having a reading nook by a window, near the terrace, or by the pool makes it a much more pleasant experience. Natural light creates a sense of calm and connection with the outdoors, especially when you live in areas like the Villahermosa Country Club, where nature is an integral part of daily life. It also allows you to better regulate your temperature and create a more comfortable environment.
However, we know that with work and household chores, time isn't always available to enjoy an afternoon of reading in natural light. Therefore, if you read with artificial light, remember that the general lighting in the room isn't always sufficient. Supplement it with a lamp that provides warm, direct light, avoiding shadows and glare from the pages, to protect your eyes and enhance your reading experience.
Your comfort above all else
Now that you've found the perfect spot to read, it's time to think about your comfort. A good ergonomic chair or a comfortable armchair can make all the difference between enjoying a few minutes of reading or staying focused for hours without compromising your posture.
Choose a chair that offers good back support, a suitable height, and, if possible, armrests. Because let's face it: reading in bed is always a good idea, but it won't always be the most comfortable or the healthiest option for your body in the long run.
Create a space that invites you to stay
Creating your own reading nook is an exciting experience, because you'll design and decorate it to your liking to encourage concentration and immerse yourself in all those stories that let your imagination soar. Consider having small bookshelves or shelves so your books are always within easy reach. Place side tables where you can set down a cup of coffee or tea, or a snack, without fear of damaging your books. Add soft cushions to the seats and light blankets to create a feeling of warmth and comfort.
If possible, use relaxing aromatherapy or essences that reinforce the feeling of calm and well-being.
