Design inspiration: A library in your living room

I love having a library in our home. I love that I have all my books in one place, that I can arrange my favorite objects on my library, and in the end have a great corner in our living room to really enjoy. Today I've rounded up various libraries for various design styles...Some simple, some sophiticated, some chic, but all have one thing in common....They look absolutely great in any home!

Finally, here are a few shots from the library in our home. I ttried arranging the books and objects in an interesting way to overcome that boring feeling you can get by just linng up a bunch of books. I only used objects that we all cherish as a family, and since I don't have too many books right now, I really am happy with the overall effect the combination brings to our room. (Oh, and yes, our bookcases are Billy from Ikea!)

 So, there you have it... A stylish corner our whole family can enjoy! 

Have a great day everyone!






One last note: I mention Ikea on various occasions because we do shop there. I have no personal interest nor does Ikea pay me to mention them. I just happen to like Ikea!
