building my DREAM home library [DIY IKEA built in bookcases]

Your library looks good. Library goals!

And if your house is big you can purchase every time a chair with a different color so you could change and mix colors and the result wow would be great I can imagine.

Whatever color you choose for the curtains and the furniture it will fit the white. That's why white is so beautiful

The bookshelves are amazing I wish that you choose red or green fauteuil it will be magnificent with the white color.

that ikea looked like the pinecrest one🤔🤔🤔 Also from ottawa???

♥♥♥

definitely rust pillows! and navy curtains would go beautifully with that rust color. also, i definitely think a gallery wall could work on that back wall, so feel free to not shy away from it if you were considering it!

Lovely! I’d go neutral curtains as they are expensive and if you decide you want to change the accent colour you can still keep the curtains.

Oh congrats on FINALLY getting your library together! Been waiting for this vid.also, final touches in the home library looks sooo great@, 😊

When y’all get married you could put 3 large prints of you favorite photos on that wall like…..

Navy curtains, orange pillows!

This looks stunning 😍 you must be so pleased with it xxx

This isnt my house obvi, but if it were-i’d forgo adding a TV at all and just be surrounded by books. If we absolutely needed media in there, i’d add a projector so I could roll up the screen. I have personal beef with how much TVs disrupt design concepts and they don’t come in any real variety outside of small rectangle, big rectangle

A dark blue-green would be nice for the curtains too! So jelly of your library!

So awesome that you guys finally have this! Some fake but realistic plants on top of the book shelf draping down would be so pretty and add a pop of color.

this was so helpful & fun to watch!!

Maybe add a wooden chest on the blank wall. It’ll add warmth and also provide a place for storage.

LOVE how this room is coming together, so cute and cozy!! 📚

It looks SO good so far!! 👏🏻👏🏻 such a cozy vibe already and I love it! A navy color curtain would be perfect and would go really well with the orange pillows! Can’t wait to see it all finished! ❤

A home library is my dream 😭 I’m so happy for you!!!! Looks beautiful 🤩

such a dream home library! it looks so cozy and like a true comfort place in your home! 😍 Personally, I love the burnt orange pillows - they tie in so nicely with that cute little table ☺

the library is SO cute carter!! i can see this being your favorite new space. personally, i'd consider the burnt orange curtains (not blackout, more light filtering) and maybe even navy pillows or even a good rich green! regardless of what you choose, it'll look phenomenal!

STOP IT RIGHT NOW - this is perfection and I am going to very obviously send this video to my boyfriend :D also, obsessed with that ceiling pattern. so cozy and perfect.

The book case looks nice love the bright color walls

I love the taupe pillow and like the idea of navy curtains!

It's coming together so well! I almost like the idea of a dusty purple for the curtains with the taupe pillows. Also, maybe nice to do a sheer curtain under some blackout curtains? That way you could let lots of light in for reading/sad days but have it dark if you do movies or gaming? I'm sure whatever you go with will be great. Can't wait for part 2!

I think the current curtains should stay, and burnt orange pillows, and then you should get a really big print for the wall that is colorful to add a splash of color that ties in with the pillows and rug

The library looks amazing.

This is so beautiful! 🥹📚 I’m working on my own home library and hope to finish in 2024!

I was reading people's comments as the video was going on and I was like "BuRNt oRangE??" And then I actually saw the pillow at the end and it actually ties in really well. Love it.

It looks so good! Very happy for you! 😊
The rust pillows will look really good! Have a blessed day!

I think deep blue curtains would balance out the room to match the heaviness of the bookshelf wall. It'll give balance by drawing your eye to the curtains instead of just the black TV. It'll move your eyes around the room in interior design terms. I love everything you're doing with the house and I'm so happy for you guys!!

ooh a prussian blue / dark teal would look good with either cushion imo (think navy might pull too mid century modern with the orange). wallpaper would add to the cosiness too!

Wow this looks sooo good! I’m impressed idk if I could have done this 😂😂😂 well done

Yess! The library looks amazing :) Can't wait for part 2!

Carter, thank you so much! You are SO industrious! Such a great project! ❤

❤❤❤ 📕 📚 📖

So excited for you, Carter!

Looks awesome! I love the rust pillow and agree with a pop of colour for the curtains.

Dark green curtains! Navy would work too! Hahaha beautiful work! So cool to see your dream come to life! 😊

💖💖💖 looks so beautiful

It looks so good! The cut-off bookshelf idea was genius and looks great, I love the shapes it creates! Navy curtains might be a smart move if you want to block more of the light reflecting on the tv, also my book-hoarding brain says that adding a shelf over the tv/books on top of the bookcases "to distract from the uneven ceiling" is a great excuse to get more books😂 Can't wait to see how the room will turn out, I love your style!

If you can get Kohl's orders in Canada, they have a huge selection of curtains online that are very reasonably priced. Either burnt orange or navy would be gorgeous.

❤❤❤

It already looks great!! Love the colors 🙌 You give me motivation to one day build my own library when I own a house

It looks amazing so far! Matt really did the damn thing 👏🏻 Excited to see how it looks when you hang the TV and frame it! Personally, I would prefer navy curtains over any other colour. Blue is such a neutral colour and can go with basically any other colour you want to add in the future.

This room looks beautiful!! I like the burnt orange color!! 💕

Burnt orange pillows! 😍😍 with some contrasting curtains omg, I love it so much! 🔥🔥🔥

Library goals!! You could do navy curtains and burnt orange pillows, they would be complementary colors, both pick up the rug, and I think the dark near the window would balance out the dark of the TV. Or would one clash with the adjacent rooms? Whatever you like best for your home though 😊

Burnt orange. The color really pops!
