I’ve always wanted a little reading room with floor-to-ceiling wall-to-wall bookshelves, full of great books. I would especially love a whole lot of old leather bound books to grace my bookshelves. The shelves would be made out of a nice timber and the shelves themselves will be jammed pack with books that it might even be impossible to add any more books to the shelves; this is why there are piles of books on the floor as well. In the middle of the room, I would want some comfortable reading chairs with a nice coffee table to keep my notepad and coffee while I read as well as some reading lamps and I would want this room to be cool and comfortable to read in. This is also my idea of a man cave, maybe add a computer in the corner where I can write blog posts and book reviews and even catch up on twitter and goodreads. It doesn’t have to be a big room as long as the shelves are full of great books to read and enjoy. Even if I’m become more and more of a kindle reader, I would still want to be surrounded by books.
Here’s an example (with a chair not a bed)
I’d want floor to ceiling timber shelves as well with a big comfy day bed to lounge on and a little table to hold snacks and drinks. One big picture window for plenty of light, sound proofing and a lock on the door!
A lock on the door, that is a must
Haha love your room! I’ve always wanted a home library with a ladder that I can roll around on, a la the Disney Belle. I’m cool like that.
Too much Beauty and the Beast as a child Lol
Hi Michael, I love my house but it’s slightly on the smaller
side. If I had money to spare I would probably do an extension and go up. Build
a massive room for myself with floor to ceiling books shelves made out of red
timber. A funky, bright coloured couch, right in the middle of the room so I’m
surrounded by my books.
Sounds awesome Mish
