Libraries |
Floor-to-ceiling windows and honed stone floors are complemented by ornamental crown molding, curved corner display shelves flanked by classical pilasters, and gracious paneling with wainscoting. Modern utilities are disguised and, despite the liberal use of dark, warm-hued woods throughout this library, the room retains an overall glow.
Modeled on the gentlemen's libraries of old English estates, this spacious, fire-lit reading room brings a timeless joy to all who relax here. Surprising the homeowner with their idea of the coffered ceiling, Commorata & Berardi created this cocoon, with each panel lovingly decorated using dainty molding to encourage the play of light over the polished wood surfaces.
The experts at Commorata & Berardi helped this homeowner to achieve the period look for his library, while enjoying the recessed lighting and central climate control that would have been unavailable in an 18th century home. |
