I store my cards in a nice box in my bedroom, in the lowest shelf of a bookcase where the tarot books live, too... but I don't have a special reading corner or reading table. I'd love to have one, though - my ideal would be an old fashioned writing desk with drawers where I can keep the cards and books together, all in easy reach.
I don't often read for others (and since I live at the end of the world, quite literally, not many people would come here anyway...), but when I do for my friends, we sit outside in the garden. When I read for myself, I drag out the box, pick a deck, and then have to find a place - the bed, the work table, or some other surface where I can spread my spread cloth and get going.
Although I have no special routine except for getting some inner quiet and enjoying the moment, I think that it would be good for my tarot experience to have a corner dedicated to the tarot, a table that is reserved for tarot. Just like my working table feels like working, my craft table feels like crafting, and the dining table feels like family meals.
I'd love to see pictures and hear your experiences if you have special reading corners, how you arranged them, or how you would arrange them if you could. And also if you think it's a bad idea or not necessary. I'm moving ideas around in my head at the moment and would be happy for input.
(If such a thread exists already, my apologies! I looked for one but didn't find it.)
