I love hallways that are made to carry more heft of the work in a house. A hallway library seems like such a logical and wonderfully aesthetic use of blank space.

Another view of the same indescribable space by Fiedler Marciano Architecture. This epitomizes high function-meets-simplicity-meets-structural-beauty. I want. I want.

Not only is this a great example of maximizing vertical space, but it also illustrates how to make good use of a narrow space. Does anyone think books are ugly? I hope not! If you have the wallspace, consider lining it with your literary collection — the shelves don't have to be very deep.

5. A smartly designed home creates a hallway that's more than a hallway.

If your hallway is wide enough, consider lining it with books.

8. The form-as-function space. A wall of bookshelves is storage and statement in one. Plus, it makes good use of a hallway.

Nice use of space. Imagining this bookcase wall is double sided

Interesting idea: could also be used to extend a library beyond its borders and into the hallway

Use this idea of a tall bookcase close to a wall (if room is big enough) on two opposed walls of a library, keeping the space between them for desk, chairs and carpet. The rear side of this bookcase could be also full of books.

If your hallway is wide enough, consider lining it with books.

Hallway as library. Maybe a little clausterphobia-inducing, but I still love keeping lots and lots of books and this is a great way to keep them from being forced into being yard sale material.

Idea for long hall at lake house, if incorporated family photos and games on shelves, could easily look junky though! Hall would have to be WIDER.
