DESIGN IDEAS ON HOW TO CREATE YOUR ULTIMATE HOME LIBRARY


 

Choose a quiet place – a place where you can close yourself – to provide good lighting or artifacts, and of course, provide adequate shelving and comfortable seating when building your home library.


FIND THE RIGHT PLACE

The first step in creating a home library is to find the best place in your home. Depending on how big your bookcase is, this could mean a DIY project or remodeling a room in the space you have. There are a few dos and don'ts when it comes to planning your site. Do not place your home library close to an exterior wall that causes heat. These changes can have a large impact on the state library and cause mold growth. Areas near food and drink should be avoided as these attract small animals and insects. Try placing your bookshelf in an unused area of ​​your home, such as under the bed or in an awkward corner.


GET CREATIVE WITH SHELVES

When it comes to choosing shelves for your home library, there are two types of models to choose from: built-in and freestanding. Built-in shelving units are permanent units that are fixed to the wall in your home. A wall-mounted white shelf is a temporary, removable shelf, usually in the form of a bookcase or shelf. There are many types of shelves in these two options, such as movable shelves, corner shelves, hanging shelves and adjustable shelves. Before you create your library, you must choose the shelf you want to use.


BE BOLD WITH COLORS

Add character and personality to your space by choosing your favorite colors and painting your books that color. Smoky blue or dark blue is a great choice for small spaces and creates a beautiful, cocooned atmosphere.

Generally, larger, darker-colored books will be placed on lower shelves; small ones above. Make room on the shelves - separate the books from the things you love and let the room breathe. This is even more important in small rooms because seeing the back of the closet creates a feeling of greater space.


THINK ABOUT SEATING

Good seating in the library is a good way to create a good atmosphere and increase reading time. A small built-in reading or sitting area is a great way to provide seating on your library. Adding furniture to your home library is another great option. You can use existing furniture in your home, such as a chaise longue or a special sofa.


FITS WITH THE AESTHETICS OF YOUR HOME

When creating your home library, it is important that it fits the aesthetic of the room it is in. You can do this by comparing your home library to the room before creating a color scheme, because there is nothing more emotional than a clash of colors. You will also want your home library arranged in a style that complements the room. For example, if you like a more minimalist look, make more space on your shelf and mention only the most important books.
