library

The perfect place for peace and quiet, an entire room dedicated to literature is the ultimate luxury for book lovers. “Welldesigned joinery can make a library feel like a statement room in itself,” says Alexandra Dewar. If custom-built cabinetry designed to suit your space isn’t an option, measure up the room and opt for matching bookcases as tall and wide as possible; try Ikea’s Billy range to create your own system. “Successful lighting is also crucial to its overall success,” adds Jason Silli, Domo design consultant. A good spread of lighting to read by is important to ensure you can get the most from your library, at any hour of the day.
