I’m always on the lookout for original, elegant, or comfortable home library designs. I don’t know about you, but one of the dreams I’ve had since childhood is to have a room specifically designate for books, reading, and writing. As I got older, I realized that a chair and a bookcase just wouldn’t do. I needed my library to be a reflection of myself.
Usually, the designs I’m attracted to are a lot like the images in my header. I love classy spaces with chandeliers, comfortable but stylish chairs, and (frequently) white bookcases with splashes of colour. This book nook deviates from that by a bit, but I would love to have it in my dream house all the same.
While not my usual style, this book nook makes me want to curl up for hours with a good book.
Do you think this looks comfortable, or am I being swayed by the way the pillows match the wallpaper?
I’m not sure how easy it would be to prop yourself up and recline in it, because of the right angles. It seems like you could sit or lay flat but I’m not sure the pillows would allow for truly comfortable lounging. It’s so neat looking though. I love how it’s framed by the shelving. You could put all favourite books there, or maybe all the ones you collected and are waiting to read?
I agree with the previous comment. It looks beautiful, but I’d rather sleep in it as opposed to read in it. I love the design, and could see myself taking many an afternoon nap, but would probably get a crick in my neck if I tried hunkering down for some heavy duty reading!
