Buy Photo A living room without a reading chair is like a spa bathroom without a big tub. Add a cozy reading corner, though, and the room starts to get friendly. “Comfortable furniture will make you want to stay in the room, and any room that makes me want to actually spend time in there is a winner for me,” says Emily Henderson, an L.A.-based stylist and author of “Styled.” There are thousands of chair options out there and so many factors to consider — height, width, material, color — so we asked for professional advice from Henderson and Nicole Lanteri, a D.C. interior decorator. Henderson says the most important thing is comfort, “as you will be sitting in it for long periods of time.” That doesn’t mean the same thing to everyone. “My husband likes to sit upright and have a pretty firm chair, [whereas] I’d rather curl up in a chair with a blanket to read,” Lanteri says. Once you find your match, you’ll want a spot for your feet (Lanteri suggests a small leather pouf) and adequate lighting.
Look for a floor lamp with a height of 50 to 60 inches, ideally with a dimmer and without glare. You can set up a pair of chairs in a family room, or one off by itself in an otherwise forlorn corner of the house. Just try not to overstyle your reading nook with too many accessories, Henderson says. No matter what, just make sure you like how the chair feels. “There’s looking-at chairs and there’s sitting-in chairs,” Henderson says with a laugh. When matching chairs to other furniture in a room, Lanteri says, pay the most attention to the style of the legs. Plus, the seat cushion is made with down. “A down cushion always helps to keep the chair looking nice and comfy for years to come,” Henderson says. ● Mid-century-style chairs often have low backs, so if you’d like somewhere to rest your head, pay attention to measurements or try out the chair in person. ● “A reading chair is a great spot to have [a] bold pattern that you might not put on a sofa,” Lanteri says. “You can even do things like add nailhead trim or contrasting piping on the fabric.”
And measure the seat height of both the sofa and chairs to keep them the same; it makes conversation easier. ● Henderson pays attention to the height of chair legs. “For the most inviting chair, go for a shorter leg,” she says. “Chunky legs are mentally more comfortable to sit on than spindly legs.” ● Upholstered arms tend to be most comfortable when you’re sinking into a novel, but ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. The arms also give the chair a slim profile — good for smaller spaces. ● If you have little kids who like curling up with you, think about finding an oversize chair for your family room, says Lanteri, part of Home & Design magazine’s Hot Talent for 2015. Henderson advises that a deep seat such as this one is best if you plan on curling up in the chair or putting your feet up; it might be uncomfortable if you like to keep your feet on the floor.
