Recently I spotted these amazing dark bookcases that interior designer Keith Irvine used in a home. The New York Times summarized Irvines design style nicely by saying ..easy way with traditional English style, which he always seasoned with a bit of French. Eclectic and spontaneous. I love that description. It struck me how uncommon it is to see beautiful dark bookcases like this so I set off to find more of them. Irvines use of dark bookcases in this image embodies the traditional English country home for me.
Todd Kleins built-ins featured in House Beautiful.
Simples lines and similar colors work nicely in this bookcase.
I love the textures and collected objects on these shelves.

I love the height of these Alessandra Branca bookcases and the accents of red.
I like the accents of yellow in this dark wooden bookcase and the varying striped fabric on the chairs.
Do you love the look of dark bookcases?
