To find the best library, you must already have a somewhat precise idea of what you are looking for: a classic library, equipped with several shelves to store books, small decorative objects; a wall bookcase that is screwed or hung on the wall; a period library, more massive, often in noble wood; a modular bookcase consisting of a stack of compartments that move around according to your desires… To find inspiration, go to Maisons du Monde: you will find all the styles there.
Depending on the decoration of the room, we do not choose any material for its future library. For a contemporary atmosphere and / or in the industrial spirit, we opt for metal furniture, very resistant. For a sleek and minimalist decor, transparent plastic or glass work best, but beware of their relative fragility. To create a timeless and cocooning atmosphere, the wooden bookcase remains a safe bet.

The choice of bookcase also depends on its future location… Installed in the living room, it must therefore be in line with the other furniture in the room, in particular the sofa. For book lovers, the bedroom is ideal for putting a library: to hell with aesthetics, it must above all be practical and functional. We can also take advantage of the hallway where it is difficult to place furniture, but we opt for a library of small depth. Finally, the pinnacle of the dream: a room dedicated to reading where the installation of shelving on all the walls is possible. You can even make it go up to the ceiling!
