Troye Sivan's reading nook is the eclectic look of my dreams. This comfy but modern space looks so deliciously contemporary, I had to figure out how to get the look.
In a recent Instagram post, Troye shared this small area of his home, complete with a comfortable leather chair, a sleek end table, and abstract lighting.
I spoke to an expert to see how to incorporate these trends and searched for more small living room ideas to upgrade my space.

How to recreate Troye Sivan's reading nook
If you're looking to add some modern home decor to your small space, Troye's reading nook may be a great place to start.
"There are so many elements that work well in this space and make it unique," says Real Homes content director, Lucy Searle. "Troye's mix of dark materials, like his leather chair, with lighter elements like the table lamp add interesting contrast."
The first step to recreate the look is to pick up a comfy leather chair you can sink into while you read your favorite book. I love this Chamberlin recycled leather chair from Urban Outfitters, but there are plenty of other Urban Outfitters furniture picks to modernize your space.
Next up, add a sleek end table (if you have trouble squeezing it in, you may need to see how to fit a table into a small space) and add some abstract lighting features on top.
Then for the final touches, add some colorful artwork to the wall and fill up any extra space with additional books.
