Answer

Yes, you can turn a shallow living room nook into a cozy reading corner by adding a built-in bench with cushions and surrounding it with floating shelves for books and art. Good natural or accent lighting enhances the space's comfort. This alternative use maximizes the nook’s potential without requiring media equipment, making it ideal for quiet, relaxing moments.
