Every day, we spend a considerable amount of time sharing with our readers home decorating inspirations that involve kitchens, dining rooms, bedrooms and living spaces. Then there are times when we move outside these confines and explore the many ideas shaping gardens, patios and balconies. It is not very often though that we take a look at rooms like the home gym, music room, wine cellar or the home library – spaces that serve a very specific purpose and do so even while multi-tasking at times! Exploring these spaces showcases a whole new set of ideas that we usually do not come across when it comes to the more regularly used spaces in our home.

Today, we step into the less-explored world of home libraries as we take a look at the many innovative ideas that are currently shaping these colorful, contemporary space. Some serve as family rooms while also doubling as home libraries while others turn a forgotten little niche into a lovely little home library that everyone in the family can enjoy. These small contemporary home libraries bring along with them a wide range of hues and also a few smart, space-saving décor solutions.
