Some people consider printed books to be a thing of the past, as there are now excellent alternative reading options.

Others know that a high-quality and properly designed home library will be an indicator of high status, good taste and quality education.

How to design a home library

Shelves instead of a closet

If your apartment is not as big as you would like, then a standard roomy bookcase will not suit you: it takes up too much free space.

However, you can place books on hanging shelves. Wooden solutions look interesting, says designer Yulia Tychino , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.

Not just books

Previously, only the publications themselves were displayed in cabinets and on bookshelves, but this method of design is not as interesting as one would like.

Therefore, books should be alternated with interesting things - figurines, statues, small vases.

You must have a system.

Libraries that have been designed using the system look impressive. For example, you can choose editions in the same color scheme.

You can change the format of the arrangement: some books can be laid out horizontally, while others can be arranged in the usual way.
