It's always been my absolute dream to have a full wall of shelves to display my precious book collection. As I also work largely from home, I wanted it to be a conducive place for me to work as well.
I decided to knock down the wall between the living area and this room to create a more open and airy feel. For those times when I need to focus on work or have guests over, I installed custom wood-framed fluted glass sliding doors.
They add a touch of privacy while still letting light flow between the spaces.
In front of the window is the desk area. Though my IDs suggested I could create a custom desk, I chose to have ready-made ones to make the space easier to reconfigure in the future if I wanted to change things up!
On the other side of the room, I've kept things pretty flexible for now. With Christmas just around the corner, it's the perfect spot for my tree!
I haven't quite figured out what to do with the walls yet. Maybe a full wall of vinyl records? We'll see!
And finally, the highlight of my room and a decade-long dream: my library!
Inspired by some amazing home content creators online, I decided to use the wall-mounted BOAXEL shelving unit (usually used for clothes storage) to house all my books!
I love that it's mounted with rails that let me adjust the position of the shelves whenever I want. It's so flexible!
Below the shelves, I used IKEA's customizable BESTA cabinets to complete the look of this side of the wall.
I recently got into vinyl records and this was the perfect spot for my turntable. I can't wait to build up my collection!
On either side of my turntable, I placed little knick-knacks, mementos, and photos from my life.
It's great to have these things in a prominent spot in my home!
These things remind me of how far I have come, and how much I can still look forward to!
I also find myself constantly readjusting things here, depending on my mood and inspiration! It's an ever-evolving space for me.
That’s all for my cosy study room tour! Would you feel like working in a space in like this too?
