Wood-paneled walls create richness and warmth in a space, while at the same time infusing it with charm and sophistication. These wood-paneled studies and libraries are stylish retreats, ideal for getting work done or squeezing in some quiet reading time. Whether they’re grand spaces or simple nooks with a set of bookshelves and a desk chair, these rooms can inspire the bookworm in all of us.
Below, see some of our favorite high-design wood-paneled studies and libraries. And while you’re browsing for inspiration, don’t forget to properly clean and care for your wood furniture and floors. You’ll thank us when you pass your pieces down in the future.
