Jennifer Garner has created in her home a true fairytale retreat — a charming and innovative reading nook that combines Art Deco stained glass with warm wooden panels, resulting in a cozy space full of personality.
According to Homes & Gardens magazine, Jennifer Garner’s space was designed by Steve and Brooke Giannetti, renowned designers known for transforming ordinary areas into environments that evoke emotion and memory. Garner’s reading nook stands out not only for its aesthetics but also for the story it tells — every detail was crafted with meaning and sensitivity, turning the spot into an invitation to imagination and serenity.
The highlight of the space is the handcrafted stained glass panel, a unique piece created by Reed Bradley, a stained glass specialist. Inspired by a classic children’s book, the panel adds depth and poetry to the space. In addition to providing soft, welcoming light, the stained glass acts as a visual metaphor, transporting anyone who sits there to a world of fantasy and calm.
“Stained glass isn’t just an ordinary window; it’s more of a work of art within your home. It creates a unique and specific look and also modulates the light,” explains Dan Staupe from Compass Exteriors in an interview with Homes & Gardens. “It’s a feature that comes from classical design — technically Gothic, but also prominent in the Art Nouveau era. It’s such a traditional and beautiful design element, present in carefully crafted and enduring structures, that it’s impossible for it to ever look dated or tacky. It has always been beautiful and always will be.”
The use of wooden panels reinforces the sense of warmth and naturalness in the space, balancing the brightness of the stained glass with warm, organic textures. For Staupe, the secret is to let the stained glass shine on its own: “I think it’s important to let it be the star of the design and keep the surroundings understated. Repeating the colors of the stained glass in the rest of the space creates harmony without having to adopt a fully Gothic style.”
The result is a serene, sophisticated, and magical atmosphere. The reading nook of Jennifer Garner, with its colorful stained glass and wood-paneled walls, is the perfect setting to disconnect and immerse yourself in the pages of a good book — a true personal sanctuary, as highlighted by Homes & Gardens.
