Bounce with Furlenco

Ah the blessings of friendship! What would we do without friends? It is indeed strange that friends are closer than family. Perhaps it is because we form these bonds by choice? It is indeed true that friends are the 'siblings from different mothers', your family away from home, your 'sukh-dukh ke saathi'. These are the ones who'll laugh on your face, who'll embarrass the hell out of you in the least favourable situations, know the colour of your knickers, shamelessly blackmail you with your deep dark secrets and yet light up your face and life with their presence.

In these times of fatter salaries accorded to decreasing ages, one is compelled to move to metros teeming with opportunities earlier than we'd like to, leaving the security of our homes and our childhood friends. But hey friendship is not that choosy and finicky.. it happens! So there is no dearth of friends. Having a cool jam session after work or college, hanging out 'doing your thing' together, a breezy round of beer with colleagues, a show-off session is all something looks forward to!

Wouldn't you just love it if there is this perfect friends-catcher in your otherwise messy apartment? This perfect piece of furniture that can accommodate all your friends and spark some cheery after-work conversations? After all, floors can get boring!

Create your own 'Reading Nook' today with Furlenco

Do you know what is the gateway to an alternate world right from within the cozy confines of your homes? No points for guessing that. It is a good engaging book!


The pleasures of reading are multiple. We know it and we yearn to get back to it but most of us are so fagged out at the end of the day that we either put it on the backburner or give in to the persuasion of friends for a round of beer. Some never-say-die bibliophiles lug their  devices or paperbacks around in the hopes that they will catch up on some reading waiting for the bus or even in the bus! 


But what if there is a cozy corner waiting for you back home? A little private space all to yourself where you can rediscover the joys of reading? Create your own special reading nook in your home. Imagine curling up there with a juicy book and getting lost in its plots! Ah, all I need more is that hot cuppa coffee. Oh by the way, these little corners aren't just for reading, either. A nook is great for any of your solo hobbies: drawing, painting, writing, or listening to music. Almost anything that you like doing in a peaceful spot can be done in your very own reading nook.

How to create the right ambiance?

1 1. Find the right spot! – It has to be a quiet place maybe in your balcony or your bedroom or even in your passage. You will find that by rearranging your furniture a little bit, you could open up spaces for a perfect reading nook

2 2. The perfect furniture – A good well-stuffed chair, I wouldn’t recommend a lounger or a recliner as then I’d be sure to doze off, a small bookstand that would accommodate all your favourite books and a warm reading lamp are some of the basic requirements for creating a magical reading nook. 

3 3. Make it as comfortable as possible – Keep a bit of your personal tidbits around, things that you would need while reading like maybe an extra pair of glasses, some bookmarks, a cosy comforter, a mug of coffee, etc.

4 4. Go solo – One of the conditions that make reading a pleasure is the ability to escape into another world all alone.. Just you and your book! So, space permitting, seclude your reading nook with maybe some curtains or some furniture. It helps you to immerse yourself in the book and also gives you a sense of ownership to your little nook.
