Ladder Bookcase

Turn any bedroom or living room corner into an instant reading nook by anchoring it with a comfy armchair, side table, ottoman, and tall open bookcase. How you style it is up to you. Or take a page from this comfy corner and try taking a modern rustic approach. All you need to infuse the spot with lots of warmth is to bring in furnishings that are big on woven textures, cozy wood tones, and crisp whites and neutrals.

This neutral living room takes center stage! With a cognac-colored leather couch and cane-back chairs, this space is high-style with no sacrifice to comfort.

A sophisticated boho-inspired living room. If you're looking to create a casual seating area with a moody feel, try a neutral palette with high levels of contrast. Here dark accents can be seen through out the space specifiacally on the fireplace and windows for an unexpected pop of drama!

This small living space can be used as a reading nook as well. The leaning bookcase and the loveseat will let you read comfortably. While the botanical prints, plants, and the green on the walls will teleport you outside and bring you a breath of fresh air.

What a great work space! This minimalist workstation has a generous desk with great open and closed storage. The light wood colors pair well with pastel accents and clean lines.

Don't give up the narrow corner. It might look like a wasted space; however, if you choose the right furniture, it can be functional as well. Try adding a ladder bookcase to showcase all your decorations, books, and more!

This home office features open shelving with a closed credenza nearby in the hallway for archived files, books, etc. It's in a convenient place near the bookcase to reach for a book and enjoy it. A table lamp and art make this corner artful and inviting.

This generously proportioned exposed wood chaise is the ideal bedroom accompaniment, ideal for a nightcap and good book! A mid-century inspired open walnut bookcase adds a sculptural element with practical sensibilities. In complement to the chaise pattern, blue walls and Persian pattern art prints complete the look!

Desk chairs don't have to be a swivel chairs or have wheels. In this rustic modern home office design, we added in this wishbone style chair. The chair is a great way to add some cozy rustic elements to mostly modern design.

This home office utilizes spaces so efficiently by providing workspace, storage, and seating in a small space.   All this is accomplished with the use of streamlined pieces that serve double duty.  The Helix Acacia Ladder desk from CB2 not only gives you a place to work but also has storage and display space above.  On the opposite side, a similar shelving unit also has drawers for hidden storage to keep things tidy.  Finally, the use of a daybed allows for seating and can transition the space to a guest bedroom when needed.

This modern bedroom serves many functions! From a cool teenage hangout zone with the daybed to a workstation and reading nook with the desk and bookshelf..and of course, a place to snooze; it's got it all!

When choosing a color scheme it can be helpful to start with a piece of wall art the encompasses your favorite colors. Here this modern abstract wall art sets the tone for the room. We pulled similar colors into the space through the use of blue and red throw pillows; while varying shades of pink and green color can be seen styled on the bookcase for a cohesive looking design.
