This room takes the bookshelf-storage concept to the next level, lining the walls with shelving. This is a great way to turn clutter into decor. Also, I absolutely love the idea of Eames molded chairs as kids' seating - they're colorful and comfortable and just the right size.

The plasma television and a window peek out from these shelves. Perfect.

A library ladder brings high shelves within your reach. Again, not the most child-proof move, but lovely for those who don't have to worry about little climbers.

Don't waste the upper space when you have high ceilings. A library ladder allows access to shelves that kiss the ceiling.

Add a ladder if necessary. Oh, and yes, you may combine your television room with your library if you please. Technically, it's all media, right?

These shelves take advantage of the ceiling height. The ladder allows access to the highest shelves.

The chair is strong enough to stand alone...

Many times ladders are used as a bit of a focal point, but I like how seamlessly this ladder blends into this entertainment wall. By riding flush against the wall (versus coming out at an angle), the thin ladder lines play nicely with the slickness of the television, the window and elongated piece above the fireplace.

Technology, an open floor plan, the family room and the library peacefully coexist in this home. There's no law that says you cannot nestle your television among the books! Next: More photos of bookshelves

4: Fill in the space. Books, accessories and pictures around this TV make the screen practically invisible. Tip: If you don't have built-in shelving to fill in with books, just pack your wall with art and photography.

Everyone seems to want to mount their flat screen TV on a wall these days, and it's easier than you think — even if you're a renter and you're not supposed to penetrate walls. A small hole can be bored in drywall and wires can be brought up to the desired height without much fuss. Of course, it helps to have built-in bookcases like these, which provide a little more room for pulling wires around.

we need to make sure we have room for our TV in the built-in book cases in the living room area

I would like our library shelves to be irregular sized to accommodate irregularly shaped books, as well as non book (esp. Mineral and fossil specimens) items. Shelves should not be too deep

tv built in without taking up too much space.

I like how the window peeks out from the shelves of the library wall. We could use the back wall of the little white room as a library wall, if we extended the ceiling of the white room into the attic space. A library ladder could allow access to upper shelves and to a landing on the upper level (the level of the attic.) landing which we turn into a balcony that overlooks the white room. The landing could have a door leading into the rest of the attic space. This would allow us to keep the door closed so most of the attic would be sealed off from the 2nd floor. With the door closed, we wouldn’t lose so much heat in winter or warm up the house in summer. The balcony could be just large enough that it could serve as a little reading nook with a chair that turns into a bed (for sleepovers) or with an actual bed, which could turn the white room into a larger, more versatile bedroom.
