With the warm weather expected shortly, there’s never been a better time to jump back into reading. It’s time to soak up the summer sunshine and delve into that book or magazine that’s been sitting on your bedside locker for the last year. There’s no reason not to, unless, of course, you don’t have an appropriate dedicated reading zone. Instead of spending thousands on building a dedicated outdoor hut for this task, we’ve compiled a list of garden furniture items that fulfil the same purpose. So, without further ado, here are the top 5 stylish summer reading nooks at EZ Living Furniture.

1. Fiji Egg Chair

Egg chairs have become incredibly popular over the years, and we totally understand why. Their shape will encompass you when sitting making for an incredibly comfortable experience, When suspended from a chain, an egg chair will swing slightly with any breeze and lull you into a peaceful slumber. This garden piece could work in a range of areas including a patio, terrace, balcony, or garden. The best thing of all though, is their ability to create the perfect reading nook whether that’s inside or outside the home. The only problem you might encounter is a sudden urge to drift off to sleep in this incredibly comfortable swinging chair. These multi-functional pieces are extremely versatile and because of this, are worth every penny. You’ll need to be quick though, egg chairs sell out quickly and from experience, we know these won’t be around for very long.

2. Granada Sun Lounger

Despite their name, sunloungers are not just for lounging in the sun. Of course, this is their primary purpose, but they’re ideal reading spots too! The Granada above features a height-adjustable back, allowing you to prop yourself up and read in comfort. Just like an egg chair, a sun lounger is relatively lightweight and can be easily moved from one spot of the garden to another. The Granada even has wheels, making it even easier to position elsewhere in your backyard. When you’re finished pouring over your favourite novel, you can simply, unlatch your headrest and doze off into dreamland.

Better still, when it starts to get dark, you can switch on the built-in firepit table to enhance the ambience of your space after dark and keep you warm. Remember, you will need a relatively large outdoor garden or patio to accommodate this set, the other items listed will not require as much available space.
