Great home libraries are a sanctuary of sorts, especially for bookworms! Check out these 6 home libraries that are perfect for inspiration.
The Hanging Library:
Design: Prozfile
Got a high ceiling? No problem, convert it into a hanging library instead! This not only provides the homeowner with his own private reading space, but also makes for an interesting conversation starter.
Slide and Hide:
Design: Prozfile
There’s more than what you see when it comes to these shelves! These homeowners customised their bookshelf to slide down and close off the living room area, while revealing another hidden book shelf!
Glass Shelving:
Design: Museum Homes
This seamless shelving is unobstructed by any stairs or ladders. Instead, glass flooring gives the homeowners access to books on the second level.
Classic and Chic:
Design: At Home & Garden
Masculine undertones are evident in this library’s dark woody cupboards and deep red wallpaper. The rows of multi-coloured books create a cluttered but maximalist effect.
Simplistic:
Design: Free Space Intent
Clean cut lines and white spacious interiors make for a perfect Scandi-styled library. This designer took a spin on the usual shelves by making the heights stagger, making it a visual element on its own.
Easy Breezy:
Design: Habit LLP
This homeowner can easily find what he’s looking for with this organised bookshelf. The sliding ladder is a chic and functional touch, allowing him to reach his top shelves without hassle.
