Wrap yourself in a blanket, grab a cup of tea and get lost reading your favorite book. Follow these tips to decorate a reading room and create a home library design that can become your own personal escape.
Storage
You’ll need plenty of storage space for your library. Choose a storage option that is practical and will help the room feel less cluttered. Waterfall bookshelves can help break up the monotony by adding layers to your room, and easily accessible, practical book towers add a stylish touch. (view our bookshelves)
Seating
Have large, comfortable chairs or a small sofa so you can fall back and get lost in your favorite novel. Be sure to include an ottoman so you can prop up your feet and a small side table for that warm cup of tea. And don’t forget the cozy throw blanket.
Accessories
Decorating a reading room or library with artwork – landscapes, portraits or still life paintings — adds to its unique look and feel. Busts, statues and antique globes are traditional decorating pieces that help separate a reading room or library from the rest of your home.
If you need a quiet retreat, creating a home library design can add the comfort and serenity you’re seeking.
