In the home office

If you have a home office, use one of the walls to create a library. Ideally, this room should be a floor-to-ceiling shelf, so you won't worry about the space you might lose. And if you don't want such a big bookshelf because you don't have that many books, you can use individual shelves on the walls. Choose the design that best suits you and your needs.

Creative shelves on the wall

If you don't like traditional wall shelves to put your books, you can choose to think creatively. This means choosing shelves that have unusual shapes but that in addition to storing your books, help you create a very creative environment. It doesn't take up much space and it always looks good.

In the attic

Do you have an attic that you use as a storage room or that you are wasting? It is time to turn that around and thus be able to create a library that becomes the special corner of your home. You can create a custom library on the wall and not occupy another place in the rest of your home.

Other spaces

If you have a wasted corner in your home, it could also be an ideal place to create your library. Maybe it's a stairwell or a corner in the living room. With enough creativity you can provide enough space to house all your books. Do you have a fireplace? It can also be a good place around you. Many houses have a flat, blank wall around them and the fireplace is in the middle ... Surrounding the fireplace with bookshelves is a spectacular idea.

If you have high ceilings, you can also take advantage of the wasted space above. To create a home library, you can focus on one or two shelving walls to house all your books and an area with a comfortable chair or bench, preferably in a window for natural light. If you have more space, a desk is always a good complement for your home library, it will become a space that can function as an office.
