Lovers of reading will agree that it is a dream come true to be able to have each and every one of our books well at hand and in order. That is why it is a great idea to be able to decorate a lounge with library. If you have been considering it, and now that autumn is coming and we have many rainy afternoons left to take advantage of to immerse ourselves in books, take note of the advice that we propose.
Decorating an entire room with a library doesn't have to be difficult. However, we must have quite clear the concept that we want. That is, do not mix a room for games, to watch television or other functions with that of a space for reading, because it would not work.
Open shelves
Personally, I like open shelves much more than those closed cabinets in which everything seems exposed and not very accessible. Obviously, we will have to clean a little more, but in return we will have all the books on hand. The open shelves are they can put on the wall, even up to the ceiling, taking advantage of every corner. It all depends on the number of books we have or think we have.
Relaxed atmosphere
This is something fundamental if we think to let ourselves be carried away by the stories contained in a good book. We cannot have a television making a constant noise, but we will want to have a serene place, with some silence. It's good choose soft tones for the environment, with whites, pastel blues or grays. This will contribute to relaxation from the beginning.
Reading area
We must always have that area to be able to read with the greatest comfort. We recommend an armchair or a sofa with chaise longue in which to stretch. In addition, we cannot forget a good blanket for cold winter afternoons and cushions to support us.
The lighting
Having good lighting is very important to take care of our eyesight. Although it is a place with natural light during the day, at night you have to have good lights. You can put a overhead light lamp on the reading area, so that we can always read comfortably.
