Identify which part of the house you will use and the layout
Choose a part of your home that you could turn into a mini library/ retreat space, and then think of the layout. The layout must have functionality and be aesthetically pleasing to you. Make sure that everything you put in your library has a purpose and would be placed smartly to prevent it from feeling cramped.
Add comfort
Add some comfort to your library with some beanbag chairs, pillows, a couch, a blanket, and a table. Place some curtains, and add an air conditioner or electric fan to bring some cool air in when you are in your library. You could also bring your favorite drink into your space, like some hot cocoa or milk, to make it even more relaxing.
Lighting
Add good lighting to your space, choosing warm options so you can relax. It adds a pleasing aesthetic to your space and some functionality as well, so you can read without straining your eyes. You can add some LEDs to your shelf and around the room, or a lamp.
Select a shelf type
There are many types of shelves to choose from, like floating shelves and traditional ones. It will be up to your preference what you choose and how you use it in your space. Then organize away! Spend some time organizing your books onto the shelves you have invested in, and make it look neat so as not to disturb the peaceful aesthetic you have built.
