Has the Media Room usurped the Library as location for leisure in the modern home? Not in these homes! we searched Decorati’s Designer Portfolios for some of the most stunning examples of home libraries, large and small, traditional, modern and somewhere in between.
Readers’ havens
True to their roots, these libraries are designed around the pleasures of reading. Comfortable furnishings, sumptuous shelving, and other details make these rooms true sanctuaries.
Double Duty
Modern trends run towards spaces that multitask – and the library, traditionally a room intended only for study, has not been left untouched. Libraries are often combined with living rooms, media rooms, or, as these examples demonstrate stunningly, the dining room.
The Classics
These traditional rooms are what the word ‘library’ might immediately conjure: rich, dark, and luxurious.
Eclectic Approaches
Should the modern library be more of a project room? What’s the best way to incorporate very contemporary furnishings…or antiques? These libraries use fresh perspectives to create unique, liveable spaces.
Space Savers
A mini-library or reading nook can fit anywhere where you have room for bookshelves and a comfortable chair.
