Answer
Yes, a bedroom alcove is perfect for creating a reading nook. Use a bench or cushioned seat about eighteen to twenty-one inches deep to sit comfortably. Install built-in shelves about ten inches deep for book storage. Add warm, soft lighting like a picture light or wall sconce at three thousand kelvin for cozy ambience. Consider adding a small side table or planters for a personalized feel. This cozy nook encourages reading relaxation and transforms the alcove from an unused space into your favorite spot.
