By: Alicia Hall, Strategic Communications Intern, Nest with the Nelsons
With April showers on the brink of this month, a good book to unwind after a long day can be the greatest feeling! A wonderful way to have the convenience of your favorite reads at your fingertips is by creating your personal home library. It might be easy to overlook a home library in this digital age, but building one can add a beautiful statement piece that brings visual interest to any room. It’s a practical way to organize your collection of books in a way that’s visually appealing. This can especially come in handy for bookworms that have too many collections to count. Functionality and storage ultimately will bring a new level of comfort to your home, so why not lean into establishing your very own library? Read along to explore how to build a beautiful home library of your own today!
