Reese Witherspoon has been making it easier to find a good book to read since 2017, when she launched Reese’s Book Club. What began as humble posts on Instagram has quickly grown into a massive community with its own app to commune with other readers and spawned its own monthly subscription box. Now, the Morning Show star wants to simplify another aspect of readers’ lives: their reading spaces.

Her media company, Hello Sunshine, and Havenly, the largest online interior design service, are collaborating to make it easier to envision a space that prioritizes comfort and self-care. How exactly? Well, Havenly’s site now features a few different ways to figure out exactly what you need to make your digs into the ultimate reading oasis. If you’re interested in working with an interior designer directly, you can take a quiz that determines your style and recommends a professional who aligns with your style, price point, and location.

This one is centered around a blue swivel armchair and a brown storage ottoman from Wayfair. A leopard velvet pillow from Little Design Company and a tortoise glass vase from Anthropologie add pops of fun pattern.

For something a little more lax, you can browse through photos of 20 different reading rooms created by Havenly’s interior designers. These photos are completely shoppable, so if you spy the exact chair or shelf that you know will be right for your room, or if you want to entirely replicate a photographed nook, you can easily do so. The spaces chosen represent a variety of levels of natural light, sizes, and styles, so you’re sure to find something that comes close to the layout of your own room.

This sample reading nook uses peel-and-stick wallpaper from Havenly Print Co., plus a velvet chair, tiger print pillow, and sheepskin throw, all from CB2.

If your current space isn’t far off from a proper book sanctuary, the site also offers a curated shopping section. Accent pieces like throw blankets, candles, and poufs will help cozy up the space, while bigger pieces, like lamps and lounge chairs can help maximize reading comfort, and bookends and shelving can help you stylishly store your growing collection.
