Whether you're an avid reader or just someone who loves to curl up with a good book every now and then, a cozy reading nook or library can be the perfect addition to your home.

By repurposing what you already have, shopping at thrift stores and yard sales, using paint to refresh a space, investing in versatile pieces, DIYing your decor, shopping off-season, using lighting to create ambiance, mixing and matching high and low-end pieces, using plants to add life and color, and rearranging your furniture, you can create a stylish and comfortable space without spending a lot of money.
