I love the use of soft pale color tones. This vinyette looks great because the placement of the books by color and by adding a few large decorative items to keep simplicity.
I think it is a brilliant idea to make a comfy reading corner in every home this encourages reading together as a family.
I love the placement of this book library as a backdrop behind a beautiful black grand piano this just reads art!. I also love the use of the tall ladder It gives it a regal antique feel.

This is a clever way to encourage reading in a teenagers room to place there reading books as a crown molding and then to add a shelve on the wall as well to tie in the theme of this room. What a smart kid!
Favorite! I love this modern twist to the traditional look of a book shelve. You can achieve this look with the help once again of IKEA. I think this would look fantastic also in a small grouping of three if you are short on space.

This book shelve is a great way to use space. This grouping works well in a room to add width and depth the key is to use these shelves in a grouping of three. I have used this look many times. This is my favorite shelve to use because it is a good way to maximize height with out adding bulk to the room and the design lends it self to many storage options it is particualy a great use in a child's room or a play room.

This is a custom book shelve that you would need to hire out but you could still accomplish this by purchasing two tall shelves and adding doors and adding a unique background color.


This is a wonderful idea to do with a child's room or even in a hall way. You can purchase this through Martha Stewart.com.

Free standing shelves are a simple look and are quit easy to find at your local hardware store. If you are going to use this idea the key is to incorporate it within a grouping and to use two or three shelves if use three find a larger art work to add on the sides to balance the height.

This is another IKEA product and I think this is a great way to use wall space and to accomplish organizing your books. This is a very versatile piece of furniture and can be arrange in many different groupings.
I picked this picture to show that the bookshelf can be placed to imitate that of a picture. This is accomplished by picking a loud color as the shelve and a complimentary color to add on the wall color.

I loved this picture because a lot of times in homes with high ceilings there is wasted space. This is great use of space and of course love the ladder.

Last but not least I love this idea! these are not just bookshelves but are antique planter box's that adhere to this cabinet. Get creative and find those rare decorative finds!
