This traditional library/corresponding area has all of the heft of a country manor with the sleek bold details of modern day and city chic.

This well-used study with adjoined library retains a sophistication with the choice of materials (including the fantastic floor) and keeping bright colors or fun-but-kitschy details out. Books can be the ultimate personal sophisticated touch.

Windowed library

library think of a glass wall and doors like this if you want to close it This is how I want to do theLB study on garden level

i love books

stunning library/office

Interesting glass box - could do in a more modern way for the library?

Narrow French doors which fold back on themselves rather than as bi-folds in a track.

Sara Susanka would call this an AWAY ROOM, being part of the main room, but also able to be private. Like a glass box.

livraria exclusiva

Of course our office is not this big but what I do like is the built-ins and furniture scattered throughout. [RS: Out of all of these photos--literally, all of them--this is the only one that I truly love. However, I also understand that what I love about it is a lot of stuff that has absolutely no application for us (all of this space, room to put in a lot of really lovely and unique feeling furniture pieces, then those spacious and elegants "stacks" framed in glass. If I were working from home many hours a day, this would be pretty close to my dream office design, but I'm not sure how much of this can be translated into the space we have. I do love--and think we should--focus on finding a dream desk and maybe also some credenza/storage pieces and seating, so the room is not all shelves and nothing but. I do love the contraast between the dark floors, which we'll have, the dark furniture and then the white shelves. I can see doing that in our place, too. We just won't have the ability to open it up this nicely and do the cool stacks...]

Interesting library

I'm all about color, but this white, glass-paned "sun room" kind of library just grabs me. The dark wood and floors give it nice weight.

Love the idea of a glass room- especially for a library!!

This space truly has everything you need in one place, including a secluded but well-positioned library! Gorgeous lighting.

Wow.

black shiny wooden floor, library

a library?

this room is so rich and beautiful but still completely neutral for designing in. Clever flooring laid at an angle and I love the glass library, quiet but still conected.

OMG! A whole room full of books! I would soooo like to have the space to do this.

Books

Love the black floors!

The light in the library. Otherwise it will be just a closet.

A clever room within a room creates interest and provides storage for a library of books in this home office. Shelves stretch almost to the ceiling, with a single pane of glass at the top providing extra light to the compact space. One wall of mullioned glass relates nicely to the traditional furnishings, and allows visual access to the rich display of books, while protecting them and containing clutter.

Love the feel of this room. Books, dark wood, big desk. Plenty of space for Jon's work and my crafts.

Love the separated room for books with french doors
