Dreaming Of Home Libraries

Hello! I'm Jessica, a writer for Arcadian Lighting, a wonderful online resource for affordable light fixtures. Every day I get to search for beautiful interior design inspirations and then share them on lovely blogs. Thank you for letting me stop by today Bev and Mike! If you're anything like me, you'll agree that one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture in a room is a well stocked bookshelf. And a home library would definitely be a dream come true. So, I've collected a few swoon-worthy home libraries. I hope you love them as much as I do!

Home Library 
 The traditional style of this home library is perfectly dark and cozy. I love the deep red carpet and pops of yellow and pink throughout the rest of the room.

The vibrant orangy red accents in this home library is invigorating, especially when paired with bright brass fixtures. The wall lamps are a neat way to keep the shelves illuminated in the evening.

Home Library 
I love that this single wall library has it's own library ladder. The glossy black bookshelf and black and white chandelier are chic touches, as well.

Home Library 
Even this tight corner turned home office makes an interesting space for a mini library. The simple, all-white built-in bookshelves help make the space appear larger.

The spacious shelves in this reading nook accommodate all types of reading material, from magazines to heavy tomes. The plush seating show that this is a place for some serious reading.

Home Library 
I love the bright colors in this cozy dining room, and the surrounding walls of bookshelves makes the room all the more dynamic. The glistening pendant light is a fitting touch.

Home Library 
Sacrificing a headboard for an entire wall of books is a small price to pay for such a beautiful and accessible bookshelf within arm's reach.

Even kitchen shelves provide an interesting place to stock your book collection. I love that these books are grouped together by color. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8

  3. The kitchen is such an unexpected place to put your library. Who says it just has to be cook books?! I also think the bookcase heard board is a great design, plus it's practical!
