A library full of books you love is one of the best things you can have in your home. Books make your home and your life more colorful so curating a perfect library from your imagination is a great step towards feeling amazing at home. Making a home library is a big project and here are three of our favorite tips if you’re thinking about starting it.
Create a Budget
There are two types of budgets you need: a budget for the library (bookshelves) and a budget for books. If you’re an avid reader, you probably already have a ton of books and perhaps they are stacked on the shelves. If you want an amazing library that fits the room you want it in, it’s best to go with custom shelves. Depending on the size and the quality of materials used, prices can vary a lot.
Think About Style
Do you want a library built of rich, dark wood or of lightweight white shelves? What’s the home decor style you enjoy the most? Where will your library be located? Think about these things before committing to a certain style.
Decide on Materials
There’s so much variety among bookshelves available on the market and if you’re building custom ones, only your creativity is the limit. Pick the materials that look good against the rest of your furniture and reflect your personal style.
