How to Create a Home Library in the Wichita, KS Area

A home library is a big dream renovation for many homeowners. If you are finally starting this project in your home, there are many ways you can go about completing this project. A library can be anything you want it to. Have plenty of shelving for books, make it modern or old-fashioned—you have many options. No matter what kind of library is your dream library, our craftspeople have some great tips to help you create the space you have always wanted.

Home Library Locations

While you can put your library anywhere you want, we have a few recommendations for you. Because books will be in the room, make sure you pick dry rooms because a damp or basement room can carry the risk of mold. On the flip side, a bright sunny room can distort and fade the colors of your books in the sunlight. With these in mind, you can really put books anywhere—in a full library, as an accent in a living room, create a reading nook, and more.

Picking out Bookcases and Shelving

Bookcases and custom shelving can be made from a variety of materials. You can have natural wood used such a cherry wood, maple wood, walnut wood, and oak wood. You can go for composite materials, plastic, or experiment with a wide range of stains and paint to create the shelves you want.

As you design your room, you can pick from installing or creating some of the following:

• Bookshelf with no back panels
• Cabinet and shelf combination
• Library wall with walk thru openings
• Shelving and drawer hardware
• Media library shelving
• Built in lower cabinets
• Crown molding
• Lighting
• Multi-depth bookshelf
• Display case shelves
• Glass shelves

There are many options and styles to pick from so be sure to explore!
