Library in the house: we read with pleasure
In an antiquity the quivering relation to books was expressed in unusual accuracy from which them stored. The house which owners had possibility to create own, let and not too big, libraries, used special respect, and predilection to собиранию books spoke about aristocratism of its owner in tastes and sights. Therefore, несмотря on any social changes, bookcases till now are considered as a component of an interior of our dwellings, giving to them sensation of respectability and a cosiness.
In a translation from Greek the word "library" means "book-depository". In standard Russian apartments the sizes and filling of libraries were regulated financial and a social status of owners. The house library has been destroyed by a revolutionary pressure as a vestige of the bourgeois past. However public libraries have been deprived individuality and a cosiness, therefore the habit to buy the book has remained even in the conditions of general deficiency that the honorary title of the most reading in the world has allowed to assign to our country. In small-sized apartments of the book stored quite often in piers, corridors and not equipped niches. Today many presume to themselves own small library and allocate under it one of the most spacious rooms, creating in it an individual interior. The surroundings of house library transfers much more visually predilection, tastes and feeling of the fine owners, rather than evident grandiose demonstration of their financial possibilities.
We count a lay-out
Despite a modern lay-out of apartments to allocate a separate premise under library difficultly enough. More often it combine with a drawing room or an office, arrange in a bedroom or a dining room less often. Creative people, artists or sculptors, are in the habit to use directly workshops under library.
To usually house library take away a place in a drawing room or a hall. In that case will be looked most advantageously angular racks and the convenient armchair put about them. This plain decision will transform small library into a picturesque and very convenient silent corner.
If the apartment area allows to equip a separate room keep in mind under library, that continuous numbers of books from a floor to a ceiling can have an attractive appearance only in spacious big premises. If the room appears small all book magnificence will make on you and your visitors heavy pressing impression. Then is better cases with translucent doors or racks with partially closed bottom part will approach. Visually to increase room volume the bookcase which bottom part consists of the closed deep curbstone, and top — from less deep rack of the same width will help. Narrow and high regiments suit the same purpose.
The important place in library is the zone for reading. In it sofas, armchairs, a low coffee table or, on the contrary, a high desk have.
Books besides the intellectual and aesthetic value possess теплоизоляционными properties. To check up it it is absolutely simple. Having placed small volumes continuous numbers in high racks along northern wall, you will notice, that gradually in apartment becomes warmer. Besides, racks with books allow to muffle sounds or the music reaching from neighbour's apartment.
Light
Illumination has basic value for library. Both reading, and work behind the computer demand performance of special rules that will help to keep sight in a good condition to extreme old age. If we speak about the computer light should be directed on the monitor and the keyboard, not to give patches of light on the screen, not to blind and not to tyre eyes. Except directed local in a computer zone it is necessary to use the general diffused light, for example dot ceiling fixtures. Soft bottom light will allow to underline favourably specificity of a premise and to give it an aura of olden time and romanticism: gleaming backs of books as though tell about the numerous secrets hidden on their pages. Bright light should be only about an armchair with a convenient high back or for reading — doctors do not recommend to read a canape laying.
The direct sunlight is harmful to books: backs grow dull, a paper and illustrations fade. Therefore the bookcase with glass doors or dark heavy curtains very opportunely would have.
Furniture
The set of furniture for library remains invariable here already hundreds years: the various closed cases, open racks and regiments, tables of various configurations (for reading, the letter, the computer, coffee tables), a ladder-step-ladder to reach the highest shelf, and, certainly, convenient armchairs, sofas and a canape. Today to you can offer any variant of the decision satisfying to your requirements and wishes.
The main furniture in library are cases. Therefore first of all allocate a place for their installation and be defined with dimensions.
Modular cases allow to build in separate elements complete system. Making modular sections abreast across and on a vertical, it is possible to receive a case of the necessary sizes and a configuration. Known manufacturers offer a wide spectrum of modules of each series and set of variants their configurations quite often some of them include some hundreds elements. Modules name both various cases and their parts, and tables and curbstones for magazines and books.
Case cases are the most widespread piece of furniture intended for storage of things. Case cases can be the most various variants: with doors распашными, sliding, folding or an accordion, glazed or deaf persons, with drawers or in general without дверок — only open regiments, that is racks.
It is difficult to name cases-compartments or the built in cases bookcases. It is systems of sliding doors which, fencing off a part of a premise or closing a niche, fasten directly to a floor and a ceiling more likely. Constructive decisions can be the most different. The such most typical, as a rule: two lateral walls without a cover and the bottom, and back border — a wall of a premise or one lateral panel, other parts are room walls and so on.
As one of the most expensive consider furniture of the Italian masters, as a rule, it is models from a file of natural wood. The price of the similar complete sets including systems of bookcases, a desk and a sofa varies from 2000 to 50 000 US dollars. The case furniture of domestic manufacturers is much cheaper: from 400 to 5000 dale-larov of the USA depending on materials and a complete set. Cost of cases-compartments usually count from the price of square metre, accessories which makes from 300 dale-larov of the USA.
