As the winter winds push many people indoors, it may be difficult for dedicated readers to find the perfect place to cozy up and dive into another chapter of their latest book. With some family members using the living room to watch winter sports or the latest movie, or it being too tempting to fall asleep reading on their cozy bed, where is are these readers supposed to go?
Turning your unused home office or a small space into your own home library provides more benefits than just for the readers of the family, as it adds a degree of sophistication to your home that is unparalleled by many other room designs. To turn a room into a home library, here are a few helpful suggestions:
- Start with the bookshelves: Depending on the size of your book collection, you may not need wall-to-wall shelving, unless you love the design element it adds to the room. Remember that the stain of the wood is crucial to the overall feel of the room. Dark tones make the room seem more imposing or classy, while lighter colors provide an airy feel to it.
- Next is the chair: If you plan to spend hours diving into the riveting plot lines of hundreds of novels, you will want to be seated on a plush armchair that make your room even more cozy than it already is. Your chair can add a pop of color or design to your room that you cannot achieve through bookshelves or other furniture, so make sure to have fun choosing this piece.
- Lastly, add the accessories: Comfy throws, thick rugs and decorative lamps all make a home library a perfect haven to escape to. They also have the power to make your library a beautiful work of art to showcase when you have visitors.
