Almost every home could benefit from additional storage, more seating, and an influx of extra style. This built-in book nook delivers all three.

The project starts with a broad bench seat that offers a comfortable place to kick back and relax while you read under the warm glow of built-in puck lights overhead. Underneath, you’ll find a serious amount of storage space. Two tall bookcases that flank the
bench are the perfect place for books, of course, but also for displaying your favorite collectibles.

The transformation this project brings to the style and feel of a room is nothing less than astonishing. And no less amazing is that the project is easy to build, a breeze to install, and remarkably affordable.

All you need are standard woodworking tools, some plywood and solid poplar stock, a couple weekends, and a few hundred dollars. Of course, you’ll also want the solid advice offered in the article above that shows you how to plan and build a book nook to fit your space.
