Cosy corner to curl up in
If you’re a bookworm, you probably have lots of books. And students are bound to have lots of them.
Despite the fact that we have entered the era of digital books, for many of us, flipping pages physically and the inhaling the smell of a book means a lot.
For some, book-reading is a hobby; for others it’s almost obsessive.
For bookworms, the space where they are reading the book matters as much as what book they are reading.
Creating a cosy little book corner in your homes doesn’t really require much.
An ideal room for a book lover would be one with high ceiling to accommodate big shelves.
Also the room has to have good ventilation, so that your books don’t smell musty and old. “Humidity is perhaps the biggest enemy for any book collector or lover,” says Sunil Kumar, an architect.
It is necessary to make sure that the books are stored in a dry place and the shelves are placed accordingly, he says.
Too much heat can dry out the pages causing stiffness in them. Some types of paper can crumble with too much stiffness.
In the reading room, one should plan the lights very carefully as the intensity affects the eyes.
Sufficient lighting is the most important factor to be considered while creating a book corner.
There should be proper facility for natural lighting to seep in.
