I have been working on several joinery projects lately and this is one of my inspiration images. From the Nikau House in Parnell designed by Strachan Group Architects, this image captures the simple joinery pieces of the home office slash library and the nook seating at the top of the stairs. Lovely.

Reading Books and Home Library Areas

Reading books and home library areas are the perfect place to kick back and escape from the real world with a work of fiction, or to huddle down and study those textbooks. However you’d like to use your book nook, this compilation should hold some inspiration on how to make the most of your little–or large–library.

If you don’t have enough floor space to dedicate a large area solely to your reading place, then how about just one chair? This rack chair is a quirky way to hold your reading material close at hand without encroaching on the rest of the room.

Via K-Kvadrat
If you have a small corner to dedicate, a comfortable chair by a bookcase is the obvious solution, but don’t forget the overhead task lighting to prevent eyestrain.

There’s nothing like snuggling up next to a roaring fire with a good book!

Remember to choose a calm area of the home to allow you to concentrate–this setup next to a serene garden is just blissful.

Awkwardly shaped and sized spots lend themselves perfectly to the function of a book nook. All you need is a comfy place to park yourself and some clever bespoke shelving to house your book collection.

Architect Jeffrey Povero maximized space in his 860-square-foot New York apartment with architectural custom shelving, which provides neatly efficient storage. He also used opposing paint colors to make the space seem larger: Benjamin Moore’s Iron Mountain (on walls) and white (in recesses) help the dark color dematerialize at the edges.
