How to create a cozy library that is spacious enough to double as a TV room? Facing the challenge of creating such a space on her own, a recent client asked Decorilla to help with an online library interior design. Our designers employed all the advantages of Decorilla’s interior design service—and delivered an astonishing result.
The Challenge: Online Library Interior Design
The client approached Decorilla seeking expert library design ideas to transform their small, dated library into a modern rec room. They wanted an equal measure of functionality and aesthetic appeal, asking the designer to:
- Create a cohesive design plan that fuses a library with a TV/games room
- Source new furniture and decor items
- Set up the best layout around built-in bookshelves
- Keep it moody, but ensure enough light through window coverings

Design Inspiration: Modern Home Library Ideas
The client drew inspiration from various lifestyle and decor magazines, as well as the Decorilla designers’ portfolios. What most of them had in common was a strong emphasis on a transitional style. Ornate French furniture and deep buttoned upholstery were frequent features in the client’s favorite interiors.
Their modern home library ideas also involved three very specific requirements: not to use leather and not to paint the walls—but yes to paint the ceiling. In short, the new design needed to be luxurious, sophisticated, and comfortable.
Initial Concepts: Finding the Right Designer
The Decorilla team identified two outstanding designers for the project, both with impressive portfolios: Francis D. and Michelle B.
Francis’s moodboard emphasized a blend of vintage charm and contemporary elegance. It was captivating, with a muted color palette and unique pieces like an antique mirror and a textured wallpaper ceiling. On the other hand, the online library interior design by Michelle B. felt inviting with natural touches like a seagrass rug and sage sectional sofa. A large couch promised ample seating for family TV time, as well as a comfy lounging space for reading.
Michelle’s proposal stood out for its seamless integration of style and practicality. Her sophisticated color scheme and smart layouts perfectly matched the client’s vision, so they decided to move forward with this solution.
Results Revealed: Modern Home Library Design
Michelle’s modern library design ideas infused a harmonious blend of sophistication and intimacy into the redesigned space. The room features a large, plush sectional in a muted green, complemented by a wingback chair upholstered in a soft gray fabric. Central to the seating arrangement is a modern coffee table with a geometric base, paired with gold accents and decor pieces that add a touch of elegance.
The online library interior design transformation is nothing short of remarkable. The previously dark and cluttered room has been revitalized with a lighter, more open feel. Replacing heavy wooden blinds with patterned curtains allows abundant natural light to filter through, brightening the entire layout.
Maximizing Space and Utility
Overall, Michelle’s design skillfully balances form and function. Each element, from the chandelier to the artwork, is thoughtfully chosen to enhance the space’s aesthetic while ensuring it remains comfortable and usable. The intricate crystal centerpiece elevates the room’s elegance, while the textured wallpaper ceiling adds to the intimate atmosphere. Meanwhile, the built-in bookshelves along the walls not only provide ample storage but also frame the space beautifully.
The client could finally get rid of the loathed sponge-effect ceiling, topping the room with Thornton Sage, a light matte green that will make the room feel larger than it is. The colored ceiling also complies with modern library design trends, and perfectly complements this moody combination of duck egg and earthy hues.
Key elements interact seamlessly to produce a cohesive flair. The muted green sectional and gray wingback chair provide comfortable seating arranged to encourage conversation. Metallic accents and geometric patterns add a modern touch, seamlessly tying the room together.
Design Details: Sourcing the Perfect Pieces
In crafting this sophisticated online library interior design, Michelle B. paid attention to every detail, ensuring each element resonated with the client’s vision. She carefully selected furniture and decor that matched their aesthetic preferences in a practical manner. Leveraging Decorilla’s exclusive trade discounts, Michelle skillfully balanced elegance and affordability, an approach that was highlighted as preferred in the client’s brief.
The client’s gratitude for Michelle’s creative ideas, expertise, and collaborative process shines through in their feedback: “The library looks fantastic! Thank you so much for your work!”
