Small, vintage home library

By Shreya Bhimani

Delve into a deep and robust palette of materials and colours for a vintage-inspired library

A library doesn’t have to occupy the whole room – a bookshelf against the wall and a cosy armchair in a corner will also suffice.

For a vintage space, keep in mind the colour palette – dark woods, deep browns and a touch of jade green. Personalise the bookshelf with your own quirky elements too.

If you have always wanted a library in your home but held back due to lack of space, we have some good news. A home library no longer has to be a far-fetched dream. In fact, while we are at it, we will help you put together a vintage-inspired one.

The first and most important chapter in this book will be the palette. Think, dark wood, deep browns and greens. Also, we said vintage, didn't we? What can be more vintage than a Gatsby-inspired wallpaper in black and gold? No library is complete without a large, comfortable armchair. Yes, you can cram your bookshelf with as many books as you like but don’t forget to dress it up with interesting bookends and quirky accessories.
