We came across a recent article in the Daily Mail which discusses why estate agents are now saying that a room filled with books is becoming a new status symbol.
“A library is aspirational and regarded as a retro retreat from the rest of our increasingly hi-tech homes.“ The National Association of Estate Agents found that “One in 10 said there has been a rise in the number of homes being advertised with a library.”
It seems that a quiet allure filled with books has become the new status symbol. With many homeowners now redecorating their homes to make good use of their underused dining rooms and home offices’ that look like they’ve been abandoned.
The article goes on to say:
“Having a library in your home can add a unique advantage when it comes to selling your property. It is a differentiator – a room by its very title that conveys peace, quiet and serenity that’s growing in popularity.”
So whether you’re planning to move house or simply looking to improve the rooms you no longer use, it might be time to start thinking how you can incorporate the perfect library in your home.
