Home Library Ideas Perfect For Fall – Who wouldn’t want to curl up with a good book, a hot beverage, and a cozy blanket to escape the chilly Fall and Winter weather? The majority of us would, but not everyone has access to a personal library. But you can simply rectify that. A home library can range in size from a few shelves in the living room to a spacious salon filled with great books and stories. Here are some gorgeous home library ideas that go great with the current time.
Using floor-to-ceiling bookshelves is a great way to have a large book collection while saving space inside the room, and thus creating your own library in your living room or study. It also provides more room to add sofas or chairs to sit down and read.
Include a Window Reading Nook
A window nook not only provides comfort and possibly great views of the outside of your home, but it also allows natural lighting to illuminate your home library during the day, creating an even more relaxing and cosy atmosphere that’s perfect for staying in.
Get Creative on this Home Library
If there’s no space to create a library in your home, you might find yourself in need to make room in some unlikely places, such as your staircase, as seen above. If you don’t like the look, don’t place books inside the steps, but adding shelves to the wall adjacent to the stairs is a great idea.
Use It As Decoration
With the right color schemes it might pass as wall art and make your living room more formal and elegant, perfect for entertaining. Just make sure to organize your books and clean regularly, as guests will spend most of their time in this room.
Hide Your Bookshelves with this Home Library Ideas
Another option is to install moving bookshelves that can be ‘hidden’ in a corner of the room. This way you still have access to all your books without them occupying a whole room or wall and won’t disturb your guests when they visit.
