The best light is always natural light: this is true for both readers and photographers. We suggest setting up your home library in a room with a window so that you can read with ease under the sun's friendly rays. Another capital idea is investing in a good lamp. It can be any kind of lamp you like—a standing lamp with a dimmer, a warm desk lamp—so long as you feel comfortable reading at night. An expert tip is to check out lamps with halogen bulbs, as many say that they can illuminate pages much better than fluorescent lights.

Though not necessarily required, we always recommend a nice table for the library. A larger desk would be perfect for one that doubles as a home office, but even a small side table would be sufficient for a cute reading nook. This is best used for making sure your reading essentials—a dictionary, some water, perhaps some snacks, and a highlighter if you're that kind of reader—are always by your side! 

Bookshelves are ubiquitous features in every library. Some bookworms prefer the traditional floor-to-ceiling, while others are happy with more modern designs. Depending on your own tastes, you may prefer other designs such as corner shelves, leaning shelves, modular shelves, or cubic shelves. The best part is each of these shelves are also likely to be made from materials that can fit in with the theme or colour palette of your room, whether you prefer metals or woods.

Temperature can make it difficult to concentrate, and as a reader, I like to have all my focus on the book. For this, we recommend having something in your library that can make the temperature more comfortable if the weather is too hot or cold. This could mean a chic portable fan, a dehumidifier, or even a stylish throw blanket—whatever it is that will make you feel comfortable enough to truly engage with your author's words.
