Charming Libraries for Every Kind of Bibliophile
I’ve compiled a list of several bookshelves and storage ideas that range from the lavish and luxurious to the efficient and minimalist. Some of these storage solutions are more suited for larger houses, while others would fit charmingly into your apartment. Either way, they’re all a better (and prettier) way to show off your greatest assets: your books!
I guess if you absolutely have to stack your books on your desk and floor, you might as well make it look like you've put some thought into it. The key is to keep the rest of your desk decorative, so that the books become part of the ensemble. It's an ideal solution for when your bookcases are overflowing (which they probably already are).
Alright, who doesn't love to read in the bathtub? Bubble baths, a glass of wine, your favourite book...So why not have an entire library at your disposal right in your bathroom? The clean ceramic white of the facilities lets the rich wooden panels stand out all the more. Skip the steam bath, though; the humidity will not be too kind to your library if it's not properly treated.
Retro library book case in the kitchen? Yes! Whether you want to have your collection of cookbooks handy while you're making magic happen on the stove, or you want quick access to all your favourite authors, this book case is stylish, practical, and can easily be moved when it needs to be put out of the way.
I love reading nooks so much. They bring out the inner child in me. If you were anything like me, your idea of heaven was crawling into a small, comfy space with lots of pillows, maybe a blanket, and spend the entire day in the world of Harry Potter. Recreate that bliss with this elegant, more adult version of your childhood book fort, with all of your books neatly stored in one place, at your disposal.
If you have a small studio, use a bookshelf as a pretty space divider. That way, your studio space will be efficiently compartmentalized, while the OPEN BOOKCASE creates an eye-catching accent. If you're a very aesthetically inclined book nerd, you can colour-coordinate your books as well.
