Book Shelf & Library

Having a home library is the ultimate dream, for you, for Belle from Beauty and the Beast, and certainly for me, which isn’t surprising considering that I write about design for a living . But really, who doesn’t want a special room dedicated to D.E.A.R. time? That’s “Drop Everything and Read” for anyone who doesn’t remember this very cherished thirty-five minute staple in grade school curriculums, where you could show off your book fair loot. So we rounded up a collection of 45 chic home libraries, and they are so much more stylish than the average book pile. Whether your home is traditional, modern, or somewhere in between, we’ve got the ultimate book-curation inspiration with these book storage and home library design ideas ahead.
