How to Design a Cozy Reading Nook in Foyr Neo

Creating the Base Units

• Add a bookcase from the catalog
• Resize for proper dimensions
• Use free movement to position precisely against the wall (look for the blue highlight)
• Clone to duplicate and create a larger book storage area

Adding Custom Elements

• Navigate to “create new product”
• Draw a rectangle to connect bookcase units
• Apply push/pull to add height
• Exit creation mode, use free movement to position
• Align with bookcases for a built-in look

Color Coordination

• Remember that changing the color or texture of one cloned unit will update all, ensuring design consistency.

• Select floor plants from the catalog
• Mix elements for customization:
  • Add different pot designs
  • Resize pots for scale
  • Use invisible texture to hide original containers

Primary Seating

• Add a comfortable armchair
• Resize for inviting scale
• Position centrally within the reading zone

Supporting Elements

• Add a side table within arm’s reach
• Include a table lamp with warm white light for task lighting

Shelf Styling

• Populate with:
  • Books of varying sizes
  • Decorative objects (ornaments, candles)
  • Personal items (photos, collectibles)
• Use rotate, resize, and free movement for varied, precise placement

Lighting Strategy

• Add wall lights above bookcases for zoned lighting
• Clone fixtures for consistency
• Use warm light bulbs across all fixtures
• Ensure table lamp provides focused reading light

Access Solutions

• For tall bookcases, add a wooden ladder
• Rotate and resize for proper height
• Include a rail system for ladder movement
• Position with free movement and rotate tools, clone as needed

Comfort Elements

• Complete with cushions, throw blankets, and adjust textures
