Book Bedroom Ideas

 If you are a book lover, than a natural part of leisure time at home would be having bookshelves filled with books accessible in your cozy bedroom retreat. Shelving allows you to have personal expression in your design scheme and with the addition of books, no matter what the genre, is an engaging accoutrement in this sacred space. Add the convenience of reaching for a good read before switching off the light, and the bedroom bookshelf makes a strong case. Be sure to keep your books well-arranged so that is won't be hard to find what you are looking for.

Yes, you can have your own personal library in your home, aside from a separate home library; you can have it in your own personal oasis, your bedroom. Avoid seeing your books scattered on the floor or under your bed covered with dust. Put up decorative shelving for your books, you can even make it the focal point of your room. Aside from a separate bookshelf, you can always incorporate shelving into your headboard. Let us now take a look at the collection we have put together for you on various types of bookshelves in the bedroom, as well as some tips on pulling off some fabulous design.

If you are still seeking some inspiration on bookshelves, have a look at some of our past articles on 45 Inspiring ways of designing cozy living spaces with books and 50 Jaw-dropping home library design ideas.

If you aren't good at DIY projects, consider calling in a pro to help assist you in designing a bookshelf for your space. The investment is generally worth it since built-ins add great value to not only your room, but to your whole home. Cabinetmakers also design and build amazing bookcases and occasionally, especially with additional projects, offer a discount.

Adding a cozy reading spot next to a bookshelf is the perfect way to go. The nook is anchored by built-ins on either side, which is a very appealing option. Custom bookcases can typically run around $500 to $600 per lineal foot, with costs varying on wood choice and any special features that you may wish to include. What you see above is a 14-foot built-in cherry bookcase and bench that ran at a total cost of $8,500.

Inspiration Wall: Having floor-to-ceiling bookcases in this bedroom adds some special interest and a focal point. Having a bench at the end of the bed can also host additional books, such as the current ones that you are reading.

Giving your space a classic touch: This bedroom features a more affordable way to showcases a built-in bookcase without the associated costs. A pre-built freestanding bookcase has been set against the wall and secured, with the addition of molding to the top and base.

Bookshelf and a view: There is plenty of light flooding into this bedroom with an incredible view, perfect for reading. To help keep your books preserved, make sure they are out of direct sunlight. To create this simple, yet classic look, the above bookcase cost roughly $450 to build, but costs will vary depending on the species of wood, sizing and any custom detailing.

Express Yourself: A  bookshelf is more than just a place to store your favorite reads. You can use them for personalization, pairing your favorite titles with framed photographs and decorative accents.

Great Tip: If you wish to paint your bookcases, consider using poplar wood. Not only is it light and inexpensive, you can drill and nail into it quite easily (holes can be filled with a wood filler), and it takes in paint quite well.

Subtle Bookshelf: You do not need a large bookshelf to hold your books, especially if there is not enough space. You can still add an accent to still give that literary appeal. Shelves are quite easy to fasten to the wall or to build, and can be arranged and layered to fit the space.

Use a headboard.A bookcase can also be used as a dividing wall within your room to delineate space. Try anchoring a bookcase to a centrally situated bed so that books will be within your grasp.

Clever design help to keep two individual beds in this space connected yet separate. Each of the beds has a directional light for reading that won't interfere with the roommate's slumber.

Here is a bookcase trend that started in 2010, placing books with their spines to the inside. Some readers will do this when they have completed a book, and leave those that have not been read with spines out. Some people like the appeal of having whites and creams showing to the outside. You can decide what look you like best for your space!

Soft Yellow Bedroom Ideas

Soft Yellow Bedroom Ideas

yellow neutral bedroom

Try a shade of yellow to bring light and zest to your bedroom. Find a hue -- from sunny brights to mellow golds -- that suits your decorating style.

1 of 21

Firm Foundation

yellow neutral bedroom

Canary yellow bedding gives this nearly neutral bedroom something to sing about. Beige walls, walnut flooring, and a patterned brown ottoman provide a neutral foundation that keeps the small space from feeling cramped. White on the angled ceiling visually lifts the height of the room while a nubby white rug lightens the dark flooring and adds sink-into softness. White linens, nightstands, and shades put the spotlight on the yellow quilt and shams. At the window, a cool watery aqua adds a cool contrast.

Perk Up with Yellow

Add a little vibrancy and cheer to your bedroom with yellow. See three different ways to do a perky yellow color scheme in a bedroom.

Traditional Cheer

Four-poster bed

In this traditional-style master bedroom, vanilla walls provide the lightness it needs to keep it from appearing too stuffy and heavy. The dark four-post bedstead and nightstands dominate the room, but the bed gets a bit of lighthearted yellow and white toile pattern on the coverlet so it doesn¿t take itself too seriously. Glossy white on the trim and ceiling serves as a foil to the deep charcoal carpet.

Country Meets Modern

Bedroom with wheat walls

Wearing a patina, this country-style bedroom captures the warmth of citron yellow underfoot and the near-neutral color of golden wheat on the walls. The color palette embraces contrasts in a space where the timeless lines of a hand-carved heirloom bed easily mingle with the modern silhouette of a new table, while the texture of a rustic basket complements that of a pristine ottoman.

5 of 21

Mix Master

open light yellow bedroom

A mix of styles and cultures brings warmth and personality to this streamlined bedroom. The stage is set with pale yellow walls that complement the sunny aspect of the bank of lightly dressed windows opposite the bed. The handcrafted bedstead, too, injects color with bright yellow paint and powder-blue bedding accents. A midcentury reupholstered chair and sleek console bring the sleekness of metal framing. Ethnic collections in dark, rustic wood add both patina and global sensibility.

6 of 21

Focal Point

Headboard Accents

This cookie-cutter bedroom lacked focus, so an accent wall papered in a pretty yellow-and-white pattern gives it the visual interest it needed. The paint is matched to the wallpaper on the accent wall for a cohesive look. Though the room is vibrant, repeating the same color keeps it calm. Shades of yellow, with hints of ivory and beige, unify multiple patterns. The upholstered bed frame sport solid fabrics as a quiet foundation for patterns. The drapery motif works because it¿s of a smaller scale than the other patterns in the room.

Barely There

serene neutral bedroom

This serene bedroom makes judicious use of color and pattern for a nearly neutral color palette that promotes relaxation. Dashes of buttery tints dot the room but the comfy chaise is the only element that is solidly yellow. Cool tones of sage green and sky blue complement the color with cool hues. Window treatments, an upholstered bench, and the eye-catching hooked rug capture all the colors of the scheme in equal measure.

8 of 21

Traditional Calm

yellow bedroom sitting area

Despite its reputation as an energetic color, yellow can be conducive to quiet relaxation. This pale buttery wall shade has pastel notes that keep it on the serene side of the color equation. Traditionally-inspired slipcovers, bedding, and rug in maize and ivory contribute to the serene atmosphere.

Color with Character

Butterscotch tones add warm brown notes to this charming and traditional bedroom where color and paint create character in a small space. The rich yellow walls are painted to mimic wide wooden boards, while yellow and ivory toile linens, yellow chintz valance, golden sconces, and the bold contrast of an iron bed combine to produce a look that¿s simple yet sophisticated.

Cheerful Disposition

blue bookshelf bench end of bed

Daisy-yellow walls create a happy background for this welcoming bedroom. Softened by white woodwork, beaded-board wainscoting and headboard, and a whitewashed pine floor, the yellow makes a sunny statement reiterated by the charming little footstool. To cool down the sunshine color, baby blue, azure, and apple green complete the color palette in the bedding, cafe curtains, bench, and rug.

11 of 21

A Study in Contrasts

neutral metallic bedroom

A simple pairing of colors can create maximum drama in a bedroom with minimum effort. To replicate the high contrast and eye-catching palette of the artwork over the bed, this homeowner employed charcoal-color carpet and an ebony headboard. Rich honey paint covers the walls, while shimmering metallic pillows and a patterned bedspread add glamour. The botanical motif on the bedding also connects to the artwork.

12 of 21

Morning Muse

Paint Room Overall

What could be more energizing than sunlight on a cloudless morning? Put that sensibility to work in your bedroom with a sunny color on walls and floor. Saturated hues of rose, aqua, and olive keep the eye moving throughout the room. Broad swathes of white on the window wall and bedding keep the vivid color from overpowering the space.

Yellow for Young Girls

yellow girls dormitory

This enchanting dormitory-style bedroom features sunny-yellow quilted coverlets and matching bubble-shape lamps that pump up the play factor. White-painted trim, bedsteads, and linens offer a soft contrast to the creamy walls. Yellow-and-white checked fabric window shades bring in geometric pattern to coordinate with the toile coverlets.

14 of 21

Warm Color Scheme

warm neutral bedroom

All warm colors have a natural affinity for each other so a color palette of yellow and red makes a cozy combination in this small bedroom. The antique wood bureau brings more warmth to the room and enhances its traditional style. The white ceiling, trim, and bed linens provide neutral visual breaks and keep the palette light.

15 of 21

Colorful Cocoon

Yellow bed, wall, blanket

A restful palette, cozy bedding, and the right nightstand make this bedroom a cocoon of color and comfort. The one-color scheme is easy on the eyes and just as easy to pull off. Vary the intensity of the color by keeping walls a couple of shades lighter than the bedding. To keep the palette from veering too far toward a sweet pastel scheme, add plenty of neutrals such as this bordered rug, graphic charger artwork, and the tiered night table. Add texture with a tone-on-tone wallpaper pattern, nubby throw, and crocheted pillow.

Tied Together

yellow blue airy bedroom

A Depression-era quilt got the color party started in this lively bedroom. Sunny-yellow figural and striped fabrics dress the bed and windows and tie the sky blue wicker chairs to the other furnishings. A simply striped blue-and-white cotton rug lightens the dark-stained walnut floors. Paneling, window muntins, and ceiling trusses provide a white-on-white series of geometric lines and patterns that add visual depth and interest without intruding on the already active group of fabric patterns.

17 of 21

Spring Sensation

cottage-style yellow bedroom

A quilt with flocks of alternating strips brings cheerful yellows, blues, and greens to this attic bedroom and serves as the inspiration for this cottage-style decor. The buttery-yellow hue on the upper walls bathes the space in much needed light, while a coat of crisp white allows the window trim and new wainscoting to pop. Simple green roller shades, a pretty aqua rug, a blue bench, and decorative pillows feature playful fabric that brings additional pattern and color to the room.

18 of 21

Group Embrace

Bedroom

Big windows and lots of white paint amplify space in this modestly-scaled bedroom. Custard-color walls bring warmth to the room and embrace the group of collected furnishings that are unified by their deep wood tones. The soft yellow repeats in the quilted coverlet and shams on the bed and on the woven rug, all of which increase interest with visual texture.

Understated Elegance

elegant neutral bedroom

The quiet palette of this traditionally furnished bedroom transcends period references. The dark shapes of the classic and antique furniture float weightlessly against a background of pale golden walls and a natural woven rug. Subtle hints of color in the upholstered chair, duvet cover, and lamps echo the understated tints found in the focal artwork over the bed.

20 of 21

Winter Brights

yellow neutral country bedroom

In a part of the country known for dark and dreary winters, using color to lighten spaces is a no-brainer. This Vermont farmhouse¿s master bedroom gets its glow on with walls in buttery yellow and trim in off-white. The combination can brighten even the darkest winter day.

21 of 21

Playing the Angles

angled warm yellow bedroom

Angled ceilings can create their own decorating problems, but painting them doesn¿t have to be taxing. In this attic bedroom, the interior walls and ceiling are all cloaked in a warm, buttery yellow that minimizes the strong directionals. On the dormer ceiling, white paint emphasizes the window wall and adds depth to the room. A pale periwinkle coverlet adds a cool note of color to the cozy space.

Designing a gallery wall anywhere in your home may seem intimidating but it's not as hard as you might think. The trick is proper planning since even the most whimsical layouts succeed as the result of purposeful decision-making.

1.Choose Your Wall

Define your space—say, above the sofa or in an entryway—and visually divide it into quadrants, building art off of the horizontal line, the vertical line, or both, suggests the blog Design Crush.

2.Curate Your Photos and Artwork

Select your art or photos, and choose complementary frames. (Design Crush likes frames of varying depths for a dimensional effect). We love the idea of creating a gallery around a theme, like current and vintage family photos, or maps, or travel pics and prints—or a bunch of gorgeous frames.

3.Play With Your Layout

Arrange the frames on a floor or table in a sample layout, which you can easily change until you have a look you love. For creative layout ideas, including angled looks perfect for staircases, check out the SAS Interiors blog.

4.Space Out Your Frames

Use contractor's paper, available at hardware stores, to lay things out on the wall, measuring and cutting paper to the size of your pieces. (As an alternative, the blog In My Own Style suggests using newspaper right out of your recycling bin.) Label the pieces to help you keep track, and mark on each the place where the nail or hook will go. Keep the margins between pieces the same, for instance an inch everywhere around.

5.Start Hanging

Use masking tape to hang the paper, and hammer the nails right through it. Then hang your items—and start enjoying your masterpiece.
