Inspiration Files: Home Libraries

I've always wanted a library in my home.



Not one of those stuffy, dark places with dusty books and formal chairs.



More like a bright, airy spot with lots of windows, like maybe a dining room.



Or a home office.



Definitely a window seat and cozy places to curl up and read!



Perhaps you don't have a whole room for a library. Maybe one wall of your living room would work better.



Here you could close the curtain to hide your library.

All you need is a comfortable chair...

Some book-inspired art...



Built-ins...



...or bookcases!

Don't forget to leave room for your favorite art work!



And top it off with a library ladder!




Do you have a library in your home?

  2. I love that cwbarchitects photo... The smallish library as foyer to another room. I would've loved to do something like that with my entry.

    I am always envious of library ladders. They look so cool.

  3. I've always wanted a library, too! Love seeing these images of bookshelves actually covered in books. That's how they are in our home. Terrific images! Thanks for sharing.
