Love your books and want a home library? Consider these must-haves for your peaceful space! Photo via Tracey Garet Design. |
I am absolutely in love with books! A wealth of knowledge, a fun adventure, and non-personal drama all at your fingertips. Give me a book and a cup of tea any day and I am in heaven. I was out doing more thrifting, but this time found a wealth of gently used books. You could even say that I collect them. From classic novels to self-improvement to textbooks, I keep a wide variety. You can find a few for sale on my Amazon Storefront.

Pretty excited about my new reads including:
This is a peek at my bookcase at home:
I am so inspired by a well-designed in-home library. It would easily become one of my favorite rooms in the house. A few must haves:
1. Great natural lighting for an airy, tranquil feeling
2. Great reading lighting such as soft spotlight lamps and recess lighting
3. Great seating for lounging in multiple hours at a time
4. Great location -- try to stay away from dark, damp spaces to avoid humidity
5. Simplicity -- Let the stories do the talking!
Loving these home library ideas. Take a look!

Soft and focused lighting creates a serene and peaceful environment. Wouldn't you love to relax in that chair after a long day? |

This space can also be used as a home office or study, especially for entrepreneurs, those that work at home, and students. Shhhh! |

Your books are not limited to a single wall! I love how this designer shapes the flow of books around the door. Great use of space! |

Get creative with your colors! Keep the palate simple, but add pops of color to maintain the space's personality. |
And in the words of the great Karl Lagerfield...
When was the last time you got lost in a good book? Let me know what you're currently reading.
