Today’s piece is a guest post by Claire Silverberg.

There is nothing like the changing seasons to really get me in the mood to dive into a new novel. As the weather gets cooler, I love the chance to take an adventure to impossible places with a good book.

Fall is the time when I transition from light beach reads into my preferred choice for cooler weather: the fantasy novel. To help get into the fall fantasy spirit, here are some tips for creating your own reading nook inspired by your favorite fantasy series.

Scout Your Spot

If you’re like me, there may already be a spot in your home that you stare at longingly, imagining transforming it into a reading nook. If not, take a quick walk around your home and take note of potential spaces.

My dream home feature has always been a cozy window seat for reading, thanks to many hours reading Peter Pan. For fall, a window seat is the perfect spot to settle in and watch the changing leaves.

Many homes don’t have a window seat built-in, so take this opportunity to place a storage bench by your favorite window. Get comfy with lots of cushions and your warmest blankets for when temperatures fall.

Curate Your Fantasy

For a reading nook that truly whisks you away, it’s time to think outside of the box. Transforming an attic or closet space is the ultimate opportunity to replicate the vibe of your favorite fantasy series.

For example, check out this amazing space created in a former closet, by Jordan, a Wisconsin reader!

Adding elements like a sheepskin rug can transport you right to Westeros while you dive into Game of Thrones. Are you a fan of Lord of the Rings? A wall decal map of Middle-earth can be the perfect touch! Just one or two unique trinkets are enough to give you your fall fantasy.

Here are a few other ideas.

Changing seasons always inspire me to make changes in my own life. This fall is the perfect time to act on my desire for change and finally create my fantasy reading nook. I hope these tips inspire you to make some changes too and bring your fantasy home.

Finally, affiliate marketing is promoting a product or service in return for a commission. When you purchase a product or service through one of my links, I earn a small part of the sale. There is NEVER any extra cost to you. If you looked up the same product on the same site through another source besides my website, the price will still be exactly the same. 100% of the time.

I also NEVER link to products or services that I don't 100% believe in. I will never tout a company or their goods if they are disreputable or if I don't believe them to be worthy of your hard-earned money. In no way are my affiliate links a scam.
