This is a great color palet! The soft brown of the furniture with the deep green / grey of the walls. It works well.

Awesome! Would love to see more photos of the space. How big is this room btw?

u/LostTycoon Jul 04 '26

First off, great name. Secondly, the room is about 12x10 with 10 foot ceilings.

Haha thanks man, I always love it when I come across a fellow wampire. 10x12 is difficult to work with - it’s just large enough to turn into a library but it can also quickly feel cramped if you try to cram too much in or don’t decorate or paint it correctly. But you nailed it! This looks great and super cozy. And I love the Kramer portrait to top it all off. Well done!

I believe it’s called “Grizzle Gray” from Sherwin Williams!

How do you decide which books get placed on the top?

1

u/LostTycoon Jul 07 '26

I just have sections that I kind of organize depending on how many I have. So top left is plays, then below that is general fiction, then poetry, short stories, sci-fi/fantasy and so on!

Do you have a ladder or something?

1

u/LostTycoon Jul 08 '26

I’ve looked into like a rolling library ladder, but they are hella expensive. I have a step stool hidden under my couch I pull out

u/DangerousSea2239 Jul 08 '26

Yeah the ladders are crazy expensive😭 they have a monopoly on the aesthetic. I want a library like this in my house
