The Whole Library

stevieb — Sun, 29 Mar 2020 20:07:54 GMT

A while back, I posted a picture of a 'reading nook' and many expressed the thought that there was a lack of comfy seating... I came across pictures of the entire room and thought I'd share them... The original picture is the first one. As you can see, the room is mostly blues and reds. While I don't love the room, I do like it and find many of the elements appealing.

Very nice. Our library is a little larger,we really enjoy reading.

I love this room with one exception. I would change the drapes

Much nicer now that I see the entire room. It is comfy and pretty.

I too would change the drapes to cream.

Wow, our den has one of each:

Desk/chair

Recliner

Side table

Bookcase

Door & window

And it's much easier to move a chair away from the bookshelves to find just what you need than it would be to move a whole sofa or even a plumper, upholstered easy chair.

Thanks, @stevieb

I'd love to see the table between the two couches. Looks very interesting. This is a liveable room.

I would change the whole color palette, but the room looks much better when you can see the whole thing. It's a relief to know there really is some comfortable seating on which to read. If I remember correctly in the other thread many complaints expressed the discomfort of the chairs that reside in front of the bookshelves.

I agree with all those who would change the window coverings. I would too.

I could take a nice nap in that room.

Seeing the complete room, it does make it nicer.

I'd need to change out many things for it to be ideal for me though. I do like the "blues" since it's my favorite color.

@stevieb

I still don't care for this --- the colors (too much blue for my liking) the patterns, the mishmash of the decor and furniture, its a 'no thanks' for me.

I do appreciate the update from your previous post with these other pics tho. 👍🏼

I love books so any room with shelves of books is a winner for me!! I also like the choice of blue colors in the rooms and I do think this a cozy comfortable place.

Individually, I like most of the furniture pieces but, overall, I just don't think the various prints (window treatments, rugs, chairs, vases, etc.) would work for me.

Too many patterns, and too much going on for one room.......the room looks a bit cramped!!! Just dont like it!

This is so lovely.....such a beautiful color scheme. Any room with books is pretty much okay with me.

I don't mind it at all but maybe remove a wood chair or two and add a comfy chair with ottoman.
