In this digital age, physical books are still loved by many. The smell of old books, the collection of favourite novels, the rustling pages of dog-eared paperbacks and manuscripts are not only a treat for every bibliophile, they also take you places. Books don’t just offer knowledge but are also a great source of happiness. When you want to get away from the humdrum of the daily hustle of work from home, books are a great ally. They give you the ability to see things in a different perspective.

A cosy, snug sitting area and a quaint little library with your favourite authors on the shelf, can give you the perfect setting for a literary retreat.

Here are 5 décor ideas to inspire you:
