This idea cleverly makes the most out of an odd recess in the wall, and uses homely elements such as decorative cushions, a throw and a picture frame to make the space feel more welcoming. We think the wooden seat’s deep earthy tones complement the rich, red face brick beautifully!

We’re not sure about you, but we definitely wouldn’t mind putting our feet up and soaking up some sun in an outdoor reading nook – especially one as stunning as this! We love how the face brick wall is intersected by lush green vines, creeping up along a wrought iron frame. This unique mix of organic and man-made elements works together to create a romantic and refreshingly whimsical atmosphere.
