A couple visitors to the site wanted to know: What does a library in a Regency house look like?
There was no universal design for a library in the Regency era. It often depended on the time period and style in which the home was constructed and designed. Generally, it would be another living room for the family, typically in a larger home or cottage, and consist of shelving for books and then living room furniture.
Here are some designs for a library in a Regency era publication:
Modern Finishings for Rooms (1811)
Architectural sketches for cottages, rural dwellings, and villas, in the Grecian, Gothic and fancy styles, with plans (1823)
We have some designs shared in the past of library decor items including:

Regency Household: Library Sofa
