Some Library Designs

I love books. I love to read them and I love to look at them. I especially love a well designed library. Even if you don't have space in your home for a specific library room, it is possible to give your favorite books a distinct place in your home.

I love the bookcase built around a fireplace look, it reminds me of Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" in that the focus of the room is dominated by one wall. I think it lends itself well the many different design styles.


I love this industrial modern approach to tackling the book storage situation. Again, the concept is applicable to many different design styles, but it does have certain architectural requirements. This wouldn't be something that could be an afterthought in most homes.


Here is something a little more practical for an existing space. Either building the shelves onto the wall or using a bookcase to create a small library area in an open floor plan can give you convenience and style, as well as a little retreat in your own home.


If you are dealing with small spaces and want to keep the place looking open, build the book case into or onto the wall. Leave the floor area clear.

Choose your library look when you are choosing your fixtures. Don't go into half heartedly and hope you find something that will work. Have a plan and work from there - what you are looking for can be found. Happy Designing!
