If you’re a collector of books, a dedicated library is probably high on your dream home wish list. Get inspired by these three rooms designed for a lucky bibliophile.
Cozy Study
Leather chairs might be a prerequisite for a masculine retreat. Interior designer Mark Sudermann created this tucked-away library for a Mission Hills home. Hancock & Moore leather club chairs flank the fireplace, and a Heriz rug anchors the seating area.
City Chic
A lover of books can find a place for a library in a home of any size. In this diminutive Paris flat, interior designer David Jimenez tucked his library of art and design books under the mezzanine. The leather Chesterfield sofa is the perfect place to perch.
Tudor Inspired
Interior designer Kurt Knapstein designated a small octagonal room in his own home as his library. Deep neutral hues emphasize the traditional clubby feel of the space. The Knapstein-designed custom rug mimics the shape of the room.
