Joseph Pubillones, Library

“In this room, the librarian has let her hair down and shown that sexy and smart can coexist,” says designer Joseph Pubillones, who designed the library space.

Instead of the predictable rich, deep tones found in many libraries, Pubillones decided to make a book nook that is bright and beachy. Cranberry red accents infuse the room with a punch of color on the desk lamp, the edge of the white linen drapery panel from Holland & Sherry at the window, and on insets that highlight each bookshelf cubby and its contents.
