The room we've dedicated as our "Guest Bedroom" also happens house our "library" and "DVD collection" and while it's the second largest bedroom in the house, it often ends up being "the space where everything I have no other place for" ends up.
It's wallpapered in a red/coral/white sort of wavy stripes on two walls with a solid textured coral/red on the window wall. And while I wouldn't necessarily choose this particular wallpaper, I don't totally mind it, which is why we left it up. I've added greens and browns & a few animal prints as complementary mixing colors with mostly dark wood furniture ...which just so happen to be the colors that were in our former living room as well as our old bed frame. And because it's a mish-mash or all of our old stuff, it was the room that was first completed in our new house. It's fairly organized but paintings and art still just line the floors surrounding the walls instead of hung up ...and like I said earlier, it's the catch-all for "stuff" I don't want to see elsewhere. However, I'd like to give this room a more complete look by the end of the month just in time for our Halloween party ...though I don't have high hopes that it will be spectacular until maybe Thanksgiving. We'll see. This is what it looks like now ...

I love the idea of using the room for both a library and guest room. I have actually seen the colour coordinated bookshelves before and used the idea for my own shelves. You really have to make sure that you file any new books properly though. Between my husband and myself we have messed it all up now.

I need some inspiration to fix up a library area in one of the rooms in our house. It takes so long to get everything the way you want!

LOVE IT...
Love "the minds knows, the eye sees..." - perfect. ALso love the color coordinated books - looks more like art that just books on a shelf !

It looks pretty awesome right now! Bookshelves can be as good as art sometimes.
i love it! i love the look with all the books shelves and it gives a sort of relaxed, comfortable feeling, atleast to me that is! =]
I really like the wallpaper/paint color combo.
