Home libraries to love

The best thing to accompany a good book is an incredibly comfortable chair.

Colour-coded books can make a wall look more like an artwork.

Make the most of a high ceiling by making bookshelves a feature.

The top shelves are made accessible with the addition of a sliding library-style ladder.

The glass at the back of these shelves gives this library a feel of spaciousness and splendour.

Velvety, black armchairs and rich deep-brown walls create a sense of intimacy and privacy.
