How to get your home library right

Vera: “I have many books, including children's literature. They are placed in different places. I would like to put everything together, create a home library. Tell me how to get it right. ”

The purpose of the home library is the proper organization of the space where the books will be located. This will allow you to find the right book in a short time, sit comfortably next to bookshelves and have a good time. If the apartment has several rooms, there is a study, then the library is placed there. It may take more than one wall - it depends on the amount of literature available. Like the retro style, use the furniture in your office that matches this style. You want to arrange everything in a modern way, hang bookshelves of an unusual shape, put cozy sofas, armchairs, and other modern furniture.

If there is no extra room, you can equip it in the living room or in some other room. Hang the shelves in the bedroom, put the corner cabinet in the kitchen. If you have a staircase, for example, in a private house, occupy the space under it by placing a cabinet or mounting shelves. It is possible to equip a place in the pantry. By the way, the living room is the most suitable place for the design of the library. The main attribute is bookshelves of various configurations or floor-to-ceiling shelving.

You can add furniture with personal accessories, post photos, souvenirs, souvenirs. In order not to clutter up the space, put a coffee table, which can be decorated with an original vase, a small sofa or chairs. Empty walls fill with paintings. On the floor near the sofa, lay the palace of the shape you like.

The main thing is lighting, it should be such that you can read the fine print without straining. In addition to the main lighting, place a floor lamp next to the sofa. Do not forget that light should fall on the left side.

If the size of the living room allows, you can issue a children's library. After all, a child who likes to read will want to have his own library. The main thing here is to show imagination - shelves can be in the form of letters, houses. On them, in addition to books, place toys, stickers, and other children's attributes. This may interest even those children who are indifferent to books. If this is a children's room, arrange shelves with books over a bed or over a desk. Set so that the child can easily reach the books.

Of course, these are far from all the options for placing and arranging a home library. It all depends on the size of the apartment and its layout.
