Dark & sophisticated...

This room sort of matches the cold and grey weather we're having here at the moment. And despite the fact that I'm hating the weather, I'm loving this room! I have many books in my house and I really like this idea of displaying them so you can see their pretty covers. And that plush velvet couch looks just the right place to curl up for a winter reading session by the fire...

I hope your week is off to a great start :)

That's gorgeous! And the book covers are like lots of individual pieces of art - so cool! It's pretty cold here too, brrr! x

i love the dark book shelves! And the way they chose to display the books is one of my favorites. What a great inspiring interior!

The weather is awful here in London, too!
I don't think Summer is ever going to be here...

What a wonderful idea! It is such a waste to only see the spine of beautiful books - love it!
