As a parent, there’s nothing quite like seeing your child develop a love for reading especially if you are a bookworm yourself! Not only does reading open doors to new worlds, and introduce them to new friends, but it also helps them develop essential skills like critical thinking and empathy.
Encouraging your kids to read is probably one of the best things you can do to bring them hours of entertainment, fun, and imagination while setting them up for a lifetime of learning and growth. Creating a home library for your kids is a great way to foster this love and make reading a part of your daily routine. A home library provides a cozy and inviting space for kids to explore, learn, and grow, and it’s a great way to make reading a special and enjoyable experience for them.

Bright and Colorful Boho Library Room
I love cozy boho-style interior design. The bright vibrant colors that contrast against each other make any room a positive and happy place to be! This kid’s library room idea features bright walls and bean bag chairs in bright contrasting colors.
Cute Boho Library Corner
If you don’t have enough space for a library room then you can consider creating a corner library for your kids. This bright boho design again has beautifully contrasted colors and textures that make the reading corner feel cozy and comfy.
Bright and Airy
This gorgeous home library has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves on one wall. The wall behind the shelving is painted in a bright teal color that contrasts beautifully against the white walls and big windows. The library has a window seat as well as comfy bean bag chairs for kids to sit on and enjoy their favorite books.
Beautifully beige
If you don’t want to go quite as bright and as colorful as the previous designs, then this library room design could be for you! Wooden bookshelves are installed on beige-gray colored walls which contrast well against the white window trim and ceiling. A bright yellow-colored chair and pouf add a splash of color to the design.
Neutral But Nice
This library design is similar to the previous one except that it uses less space and would work well as a kid’s bedroom library. It again features a neutral wall color with pops of color coming in with the throw cushions on the reading bench. This is a really easy DIY kid’s library design!
Strong Contrasts
Of all the things that could describe this kid’s library room, boring is not one of them! Navy blue walls and bookshelves are contrasted against lime green or lime yellow furniture while a lighter blue floor rug matches with the throw cushions on the sofa.
Bright and Bold
Another library room with bright and bold contrasting colors! This one contrasts blue, pink, and orange in the walls and furniture. White floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and ceiling add to the color contrast.
Not So Bold
Not ready to commit to a bright and colorful library room but instead want a library room a little more neutral that everyone in your home will enjoy then this might be a good option for you! Traditional greens and oranges contrast against brightly colored books with one very bright yellow pouf adding some childlike fun to the design.
Pretty In Pink
If you have girls who love reading then this pretty shabby chic kids library could be a great option! Pink curtains, and furniture contrast against the dusty green-gray floor-to-ceiling bookshelves creating a beautiful design that girls of all ages will love!
Little Library Corner
This is another design that is perfect if you only have a corner to use for your kid’s library. This is a great option for bedrooms and playroom libraries. Lighter blue bookshelves are installed against navy blue walls with very bright panels to the side of one of the bookshelves adding a bright pop of color. Add a brightly colored reading bench with matching cushions and you are good to go!
Bright Bookshelves
This design is again great for a small space. Simply paint the bookshelves and walls behind them with different colors to create a fun and inviting reading nook for your kids!
