Study/Library
I would love a room reserved for my growing collection of books, that incorporates a cozy reading nook, as well as enough space for me to homeschool my maybe-someday-children. Before someone jumps to conclusions or tries to judge me, I used to work as a tri-lingual schoolteacher. I still get requests to substitute at my old school, despite skipping across an ocean to my new home.
I grew up in the Old World, where having a formal study where gentlemen withdrew to for drinks and cigars after a formal dinner were the norm, at least along one branch of my family tree, so I have an inherent liking for rooms reserved for books. This room would probably double as my mommy command center, but I've tried to break that function off into its separate ideabook, as the most likely place for such a thing would be the kitchen.

I'm big into horses, but don't like decorative items without a function. These are functional, and pretty.

Ikea's Expedit shelving units mounted on the walls.
A narrow corridor could become a library with the addition of floor to ceiling bookshelves. With neutral paper covers to hide the mismatched backs of books, one can get a uniform, elegant look with a pop of color.
This campaign desk is a really nice pop of color in any space.
There's nothing quite like a cozy armchair to cuddle up with a book in.
