Home library design: examples of unusual and non-standard solutions

Who said that bookshelves must be in even rows, like literature on them? Such a diamond-shaped arrangement immediately makes the home library much more interesting and original..

Books in themselves are striking interior items, especially if you place them with the cover in front and place them on such snow-white shelves, which practically merge with the design of the wall..

It is quite possible to set aside a place under the stairs for the library, which is often not used in any way. Nearby there is an armchair and a table for reading – that’s what a comfortable and space-saving home library has turned out.

Built-in niches are great for roomy book storage. This is a convenient option, especially if the niche is located next to the sofa so that the book can be taken by simply reaching out.

A forest of bookshelves! Definitely not boring option, which looks very original. Of course, such unusual shelving will require a lot of space, but for the sake of an unusual design effect, sometimes it is worth sacrificing space..

This classic library is adorned with a reading area by the window. A natural light source in the library is essential, and soft pillows provide comfort.

It seems that the shelves for books and various little things are arranged chaotically, but on the whole, the composition on the wall looks complete and thoughtful. Also interesting are the mounts for books, which in the end look just hanging on the wall..

Round shelves are also an unusual option. To conveniently place books and vases on them, it was necessary to additionally insert straight shelves, but in general it was possible to do without them – the storage place would still be practical..

Both an armchair and a spacious bookcase. A lot of literature was placed, and the piece of furniture itself acts as a real art object, while providing its owner with enough comfort.

If there are so many books that they simply do not fit on the walls, you can allocate for them a drawer built under the bed, where the linen is usually folded.

Here is another armchair-bookcase, not as roomy as the previous one, but quite suitable for storing literature. A compact home library that deserves a focal point in your living room.

Children’s home library is a separate topic. Firstly, children’s books are always very bright and can decorate a room, and secondly, you should make sure that the child is comfortable finding the right volume and using the shelves. This open version is great for these purposes..
