Whenever I picture my future home, the room that's most clear in my mind is the library. Whether I live in a studio apartment or a house I will most definitely surround myself with books. Here are a couple of my favorites.
I was surprised to find this library was in an English manor home. All the seagrass made me think it was somewhere beachier. The bookcases however, are amazing. The neutral book colors arranged so that the lightest radiate out from the center make the shelves almost like modern art.Here's another one that arranges the books by color. I wouldn't have included the toys, but all the bright colors are playful and fun.The best thing about this room is the indoor/outdoor aspect. While I love a cozy library, a lot of light is also a must, and the ladder is the icing on the cake.
For some reason this library just looks so American to me. I know, weird. I don't love all of the furniture in this room, but the glass doors on the bookshelf are classy, and I adore the giant globe.This room looks casual and cozy to me. I love the couch in the window and the lamp.This is another amazing one, although much too grand to belong in a residence. It's a library in Dublin and looks like it belongs in a Harry Potter book.This is more of a library/office combo. I love the pale palette injected with shots of hot pink. I think the use of objects mixed in with books works really well here.
Oh, books.
