Place bookshelves, a shelving unit, or drawer against the wall and set up a reading area. Good daylight, a large window, privacy and silence are great companions for reading. And to read on the balcony in the evenings, add lighting. Both built-in lamps and portable ones, such as a floor lamp or table lamp, are suitable. For a special mood and comfort, add a garland.
