If you have read my brownstone page then you know that I live in a Queen Anne Victorian brownstone that has 15 rooms. One of the luxuries of living in a house with so many rooms is that I have extra rooms to make into whatever I want. I love to read so I made one of the rooms on the second floor my personal library room. I love it! I made it cozy and kept the color scheme light. It is nice for me to go into my library room, lay on the vintage sofa that I purchased from the Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $65.00.
My library room
I really love spending time in here. I have so many books though that I need lots more book shelves. Right now most of my books are still in either rubber storage bins are laying in piles in my arts & crafts room.
Below are photos of home library rooms that I find very cozy and inspiring.
This library room is a little dark fo my own personal taste but it is still very lovely and the sofa does lighten it up a bit.
I love the vinatge framed photos on the walls of this library room.
I really love the bold colors of this library room playing off of the white which adds a balance so that the bold colors are not too much on the eyes.
Wow
If you don't have an extra room to make into a library you can still create a library space.
Here is a lovely bedroom with a library nook in it.
This very bohemian looking living room has books displayed on the coffe table.
Charming reading space.
I love seeing books in a home. Books, like plants, gives a warm and cozy look and feel to a house or apartment. There are many ways that you can display books besides a bookshelf.
I hope that you have been inspired.
