How to create a new personal library for the 3rd millenium?

1 Answer

Answer :

I have this shelving system (actually a low section and a high section) and I organize my books on it by genre. Interspersed throughout, I have art pieces, plants, an old typewriter and a collection of aged cameras. I’ve also see people arrange their books by color which looks cool. I think it’s important to integrate the books into the room like a design, rather than as storage. You can check out some design websites like this for ideas.
