How to arrange and choose a bookcase: photos and tips
We offer interesting options for decorating your own library in an apartment or house.
In the era of electronic technology, many no longer remember the last time they held a paper edition. But in vain. After all, nothing beats the smell of your favorite book, flipping through its pages and homemade bookmarks … Moreover, books, like no other object in the house, create coziness, warmth and comfort. But what can I say, the owner of an apartment with his own library evokes respect and interest. And who said bookcases were out of fashion? We offer seven unusual ideas for decorating a home library. Get inspired!
The easiest and most convenient way to position a bookcase is on the wall behind a sofa or armchairs. Moreover, it is better if the cabinet is built into the wall, and the books are arranged not according to colors and authors, but in a chaotic manner. So, your shelves with books will resemble an exhibit of modern art, and not the Lenin library, and will not take up much space in the room yet.
You can experiment and turn the wardrobe into an art object that you will not find in any museum. How do you, for example, the idea of a triangle cabinet or a spruce cabinet? Or maybe a wardrobe-circle or a wardrobe-rhombus is closer to you? In general, turn on your imagination and order book shelves based on your sketch. You will see how pleasant it will be to look at your own creativity later!
3. Bookcase between windows
If your home has two large windows parallel to each other, a bookcase can be placed between them! True, it is important to follow certain rules here. First: the wardrobe must be of a certain size (in no case should it block the windows or create a shadow in the room). Second: the wardrobe should not stand out, distracting attention from the general space.
In a separate office or work area, you definitely cannot do without a bookcase. He will create the right atmosphere and will delight the eye. The main thing is that a desk with an armchair and a wardrobe are designed in the same style. Which one is up to you.
5. Bookcase on a contrasting wall
A great way to surprise guests is to use shelves instead of a closet. And place them in the room on a contrasting wall: red, yellow or orange. Moreover, in this case, such decor items as vases, paintings, figurines, and framed photographs will look appropriate next to the books. This design technique, by the way, has recently been often used by Hollywood and Russian celebrities. And all because this design looks very stylish.
The corner bookcase also looks unusual and stylish. Especially if it is built into the wall or visually is a continuation of other pieces of furniture. By the way, if you decide to make shelves up to the ceiling, be sure to put a ladder next to it. And not only in order to get a book from the last shelf, but also for beauty. The only point: the staircase should be made in the same style as the wardrobe.
Lovers of minimalism will surely love the idea of a low bookcase that can also be used as a table or sideboard. And that, very convenient and at the same time original and stylish.
