A Grand Design with a Classic Rolling Ladder
This grand, floor-to-ceiling library wall was designed to make a stunning architectural statement in a soaring, two-story great room. The custom-built piece masterfully fills the expansive wall space, drawing the eye upward and visually connecting the main floor with the second-story landing above. Its classic white finish and timeless design feature a bank of lower cabinets for concealed storage, topped by a vast array of open shelving for a large book collection.
The undisputed centerpiece is the handsome, rolling library ladder. Crafted from warm, contrasting wood and mounted on a sturdy metal rail, the ladder is a practical necessity that imbues the entire space with the nostalgic character and romance of a traditional, old-world library. This project is a perfect blend of grand scale and timeless charm.
