Design tips for decorating a luxury style library

Here’s how to achieve the luxury aesthetic room of your dreams.

What’s the best way to design and decorate a luxury library?

The design of your workspace can be as crucial to your productivity as your morning cup of coffee. Whether you're carving out a corner in an open-concept living room or in the process of a remodel to create a dedicated library space, these are our tips to help you create a space that works (pun intended) for you:

  • Desk & Chair: The cornerstone of any office, your desk provides a designated workspace for your computer, monitor, books, and other essentials. It often serves as the focal point of an office or study, so place it where it best suits your workflow, ideally near natural light to boost mood and productivity.
  • Bookshelves or Storage: Every library needs storage. The material you choose for your storage can really help lean into the desired luxury style of your workspace.
  • Seating: Extra seating options, like an accent armchair, or sofa can add a cozy touch and provide a spot for guests or a change of scenery for you. Position these to encourage conversation without disrupting your work zone.
  • Area Rug: An area rug adds warmth and can define a workspace within a larger room. Place it under your desk and chair to anchor the space, ensuring it's large enough to allow for easy chair movement.
  • Paint or Wallpaper: Select a color or pattern that sets the desired mood for the library and complements the luxury style you want to achieve. We are partial to covering walls, ceilings, and trim in a uniform paint color to create a cohesive look. Or consider an accent wall behind the desk to serve as a focal point.
  • Decorative Lighting: Combine task, ambient, and accent lighting for a layered lighting scheme. A desk lamp is common for those late work nights burning the midnight oil. Consider the placement of lighting fixtures to eliminate shadows and evenly light the space. Dimmer switches can adjust the mood.
  • Curtains or Blinds: Window treatments not only help control the light and provide privacy but also serve to tie the room's design together. They offer an opportunity to inject color, texture, and pattern into the living space, making it more inviting and personalized. Whether flowing and sheer for a light, airy feel or rich and textured for a more luxurious look, curtains play a pivotal role in setting the tone and atmosphere of the library. Don’t forget the curtain rod!

Remember, the best library design is one that reflects your personal work style and needs. Experiment with different arrangements until you find the perfect balance of functionality and comfort. If you need an extra hand, check out our step-by-step guide on Home Office Design.

What materials and home decor should I use to achieve a luxury library design?

Luxury interior design is synonymous with opulence, quality, and attention to detail, offering a high-end aesthetic that combines sophistication with comfort. The luxury design creates an ambiance of exclusivity and refined taste, focusing on bespoke elements and unparalleled comfort. While luxury is typically synonymous with high-end materials like marble, silk, and polished metals, you can achieve a luxurious look without breaking the bank.

When going for a luxury feel in a library, focus on a refined color palette and clean, simple lines. Luxury color schemes range from classic neutrals to bold, regal hues. Include large art pieces, bold, elegant lighting fixtures, and strategically add textures and patterns to add depth and interest.
