Going Creative With Your Home Library: 5 Unusual Solutions

Even though in folio books are gradually becoming a memory, some of us still have them at home. The problem is where and how to keep them. Sure, a lot will depend on the amount of books you keep. And, of course – on whether you are looking to design a segregated library or equip another room with a library area. No matter what your particular case may be, here are some ideas that might prove useful:

Segregated library

Classic look

The classic look in your library can be achieved with the help of soft wooden furniture – a desk, a couple of chairs or armchairs, perhaps – even a sofa; and, of course, a matching bookcase  – either with all the shelves open, or with a partially exposed and partially hidden arrangement. Sure, a truly classic look can only be achieved if you keep all your books at sight – after all, if you want to hide them, why keep a separate library? The exact wood shade and type will depend on your personal preferences – you can easily go with anything you like – oak, pine, walnut, birch, etc.

Vintage atmosphere

Creating a vintage atmosphere in your library is similar to working on a classic interior. The only difference is that you will have to look for antique (or antique-looking) furniture solutions. Yet, the general look remains quite similar – a desk, a bookcase, and so on.

Modern and light

Still, you are not obliged to design a vintage or even a classic library to keep your books – especially if your home is decorated in a modern style. Books will look equally stylish in a contemporary environment, and the choice of a particular interior arrangement will be totally up to you. You can go with high gloss furniture, which looks very stylish in sunlit rooms. Or, you can equip your room with lots of glass and metal. You can go creative with the bookshelves, arrange them in an abstract fashion, etc.

Library area

Wall to ceiling bookstands

If you do not have enough space to equip your home with a segregated library, you can go creative with the shelves in your living room. A wall to ceiling bookstand, for instance, can separate living room from the dining room or hallway – depends on your interior layout.

Creative bookshelves

Your bookshelves do not necessarily have to be arranged in a boring, parallel fashion. You can create shapes and figures from books, arrange them in an abstract manner, or even simply place your books onto wall hooks – as is they are hanging in the air.
