Dedicated spaces in open concept living

If you are one of those who have already adorned an open concept living house, here is one idea that you can steal.
You could have a lovely book shelf either creatively hand made as a DIY project or one bought from a furniture store running parallel to your dining table. You could put it in an angle that visually elongates your dining space making it feel more luxurious, spacious and full. And what’s even better, you can convert your dining into a lovely, open study area and desk space once it is time for the family to engage in some serious work.
Bookshelves that are built-in

You could go for multiple rows of shelves and break them either evenly or unevenly to give your wall bookshelf a more aesthetic appeal. You could have this built-in bookshelf adorn either one of the walls in your living space – perhaps the one simply opposite your couch. This way you will always be drawn into picking a book and indulging deep in it while relaxing on your couch.
Study or a reading room
