Dubais Premium Homes with Library Spaces

12 April 2023 Written by Staff Writer

The 15th Emirates Festival of Literature ends today. The hugely popular cultural event has been spreading the joy of reading in Dubai since 2009, but the celebration doesn't have to stop once the festival is over. You can indulge in your favourite reading time when you’ve got a home with its own library or study room or just a well-designed bedroom with a cosy nook where you can curl up with your favourite read.

While most reading is done online these days, prime real estate agencies still regard beautiful home libraries as a key asset and an important attribute when buying or selling a home, because a well-designed library can greatly enhance a property’s value.

A tasteful home library can serve as a refreshing space not to mention the added sense of distinct, classic sophistication that a library carries.

Below, we have selected five premium Dubai homes with library rooms and private studies, and the most stunning views that will inspire book lovers and might even intrigue you to flip through a few catalogues right now.
