I’ve shown his work in previous Friday Fun posts (see last week’s libraries for example), but let us take a moment to fully appreciate Luis Bustamente, Spanish interior designer of international renown. He started out as a sculptor and painter, and this shows in his quite grandiose interior schemes with large pieces of art. However, the reason I love him is that in nearly every one of his projects, he includes a library or at the very least some bookshelves. Let’s hope the owners of the properties appreciate this as much as he does. So, if I ever become fabulously wealthy, he’ll be the one designing my house, complete with at least one or two or three home libraries. All of the pictures below are taken from his website.

I love the interiors of all these libraries but I’m glad I don’t have so many books. I like to get on my knees and dig out books from secondhand bookshops and book exhibitions, one or two books at a time. There is such joy in finding a rare or out-of-print book, and adding it to the collection!
These are gorgeous! Would love to have rooms like these . . .
Oh wow, all of these libraries are gorgeous – I definitely couldn’t pick a favourite this time.
