Jerry Jacobs Design, Inc. Thanks! It is hard to say there are many manufacturers for similar products. Best thing is to go to your local shop in SF O'kells and see what is available that meets the local codes, size, etc...
These shelves are so beautifully organized, but would even work as a more bohemian set-up as the books more haphazardly situated. The rest of the room is so classic and organized (LOVE how the tv is sleekly integrated) and the shelves are so much darker and distinctly set apart from the room, order would still reign in this regal living area.
Good books and roaring fires just seem to go hand-in-hand. I love how this hearth is built into a wall of floor-to-ceiling bookcases, creating a wonderfully inviting reading nook. The dark wood and granite are delightfully contrasted by the playful, buttery upholstery of the seating suite.
A favorite living room of mine for integrating a library with a fireside seating area with a little theater. This kind of setting suggests that these books aren't just for show, but are a part of the dweller's life as is a bathtub or front door.
Most of the popular living rooms we saw were neutral tones, but here yellow and black break that generalization wide open. Traditional touches like wide molding and built-in bookshelves kept the palette from reading too strong.
The formality of Mid-Century Modern parlors meets with the living passion and intellectualism of Paris. The French are so great at keeping their stacks of beloved stuff looking artistic and deliberate.
2: Camouflage with a dark color. Still not loving how much the black shiny rectangle jumps off the wall? Camouflage your TV with a background wall of black, brown, navy, charcoal gray — any dark color of your choosing. This room takes it all the way with the black stone fireplace and ebony floors. I especially love the recessed niche with what appears to be a moulding detail on the inside.
Insetting and framing the TV and painting the wall behind it a dark color (chocolate brown, in this case) makes this ubiquitous electronic device blend in with its surroundings. Plus, I think there's something nice about ensconcing a TV among throngs of books.
Want to sneakily add in more seating in a less than obvious fashion? Replace a typical coffee table with an oversized ottoman. It will still carry the same effect as a coffee table — ground the center of the layout — and doubles as extra fireside seating when you have guests.
