Unique Home Library Ideas

To book aficionados like you, books are like friends worth keeping for forever. You can never have too many books as you would agree. However, your house would sometimes question your call, especially if the space you’re living in is kind of limited. So, how would you arrange your books in convenient and stylish ways? Browse these unique home library ideas and get creative.


Books are silent creatures who would just sit quietly wherever you place them. Look for those wide slim spaces which normally appears useless like walls. Build your book colony there. Utilize the wall space on beside your stairs, on a living room or along your corridors.


If you want to go with contemporary design that wouldn’t disturb the room’s simplicity, you can have a geometric shelf made for you. Take this block library, for example. It goes great with the living room.



How about these creative chill reading nooks for you and your family? Here are cozy inspirations which you can get inspiration from.




This 240 square feet nook was created by Tim Seggerman. Imagine yourself getting lost in the forest, walking through the nightmares of a war-stricken old city or haunting the murderer of your favorite character through your books in this nifty little corner.



Surround yourself with books -- literally -- while reading. This designer contemporary library will give the previous statement justice.







Who would have imagined that your ceiling can double as your library? Climb the ladder of wonders to pick your next read from this circular ceiling library. It is a fab library that you just need to have.




This is another ceiling library, but this time, you can walk in front of your books. It’s like your books have turned into birds and are just perching, stationary on their positions, on top of you.


Don’t want your books on top? Then, place them beneath your floors. This underfloor book storage was designed by brilliant minds of .27 Architects. What an unusual, yet refreshing style.




If you don’t like climbing or bending down, but you still want to have a unique perspective for your home library, then take the word ‘read’ literally. Craft a ‘READ’-shaped library. It’s like having a book museum in your home.





Enjoy reading while on the tub? Then make this a daily habit. Install a shelf and move all your books into your bathroom. Bath time will always feel like heaven.



Put a whole new meaning to sleeping with your books through this cabin library. The top of the box is your bed and the bottom part is your mini library. If you want to grab a new read, you simply have to get to your sides and reach out to your books. Next read, please.
