Solid oak is one of the few species that age well. Its texture, solidity and natural nuances make it an excellent choice for a library, both for storing books and for displaying decorative objects. At Meuble House, solid oak libraries are available in several formats: open, glass or with doors, in styles that adapt to a contemporary interior as well as to a more rustic or retro decoration.
Why choose the solid oak for a library?
Oak is a wood that takes value over time. Its color naturally evolves towards more golden and amber tones, which gives it a hard to get stamp with other species. Oiled or waxed, it adapts to a contemporary interior as well as to a more rustic or retro decoration. It is also one of the few species that lends itself to very different finishes: oiled, natural or patinated, the same furniture completely changes its rendering and character according to the chosen finish.
Open, glassed or with doors: which one to choose?
Before choosing a solid oak library, the question of the model is often the one that arises first. Open, glass or with doors, each model responds to a different use and fits differently into the room.
An open library in solid oak gives warmth to a living room or office. The shelves are accessible, the books and objects placed on them directly contribute to the atmosphere of the room. It is a model that rewards those who take the time to think about their storage.
The glass library plays more on presentation than on storage. Glass creates a distance between object and look, which gives it another dimension in the room. It is the piece of furniture that you choose when you have objects you hold and want to see without taking them out every day.
The model with full doors is the most sober. It fades visually in the room and lets the other furniture and decorative objects of the room take over. In a busy living room or dining room, it is often the most coherent choice.
