I love the smart design elements in this library office combo, designed by Jennifer Eisenstadt. This space is so well thought-out and has a stunningly sophisticated feel, which is just right for both a library and office. At the same time, this space feels accessible and practical to me; something I could see in my own home that could serve my family well.
{FHD’s “ A Room I Love” series….just a simple hello, from me to you, featuring a Room that I Love, and a quick list of why I love it. If you study what you love about a space, it helps you to bring what you LOVE into your own home!}
Do you love it?:

WHAT I LOVE:
1. The gutsy placement of the sofa RIGHT in front of the bookshelves. This makes the space!
2. Tufted navy velvet. Need I say more?
3. The portrait lamps above the library shelves.
4. Dramatic ceiling to floor drapes in soothing silver.
5. Bringing a clean-surface desk and chair into the library.
6. Bookshelves packed with books!
7. The white piping on the upholstered pieces.
8. The soft silvers, charcoal and navy color combination.

The color scheme is gorgeous and so restful. I have to say that right away my eye went to the portrait lights over the book shelves – such a great idea. The drapes are lovely.
I am a die-hard fan of portrait lights over bookshelf columns. Die hard!
I have always loved using a wall of books as a backdrop to furniture. Even though I am not typically a “blue” room person, I have to say this one looks very inviting and warm with all of the cool colors. Beautifully done!
Yes! I think that gray can be a “warm” if there is a presence of brown in the undertones. Also, velvet never hurts!
I love that navy velvet sofa! And, the drapes are beautiful, too. The one item I could do without is that floor lamp…the chandelier makes up for it though.

I am with you on the floor lamp. Not a fan. And I would love to see a crystal chandy in here, myself. You know, some glamour!!
Yep, another beautiful space! I immediately moaned over that sofa, SUPER pretty. I love navy blue lately, and that velvet makes it seem quiet and elegant and comfortable.
Wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves are always a favorite too.
I also like the yellow-gold botanical prints contrasting against all of that cool silver and gray.
Thanks Darlene! Always an inspiring stop when I visit your blog! 🙂
Thanks, Marie!! Yes!! Those prints are fantastic!
Actually love it all from the sofa to the bookcases to those beautiful drapes and the lighting over the bookcases..(great idea)….
But really not in love with the chandelier…needs one with a little more bling…
I thought so too, Shirley. And I don’t like the floor lamp either. But still – what a great space!
More and more I want a velvet sofa. I want to feel that incredible texture under my fingers. This is a room I could happily live with.
velvet + sofa = love!
Its you!
