10 creative bookshelf designs for advanced bookworms

The Shanghai Book Fair, a grand event for book lovers, is in full swing, and people's enthusiasm for visiting the exhibition is getting higher and higher every year. For every book lover, bookshelves are very important. It is very inconvenient to move piles of books, but at the same time, people are reluctant to give them up. If you want to show off your sweet "burdens", you might as well try the following creative bookshelf building methods.
The bookshelves that cover the entire wall from top to bottom in public libraries always make people feel satisfied and admired, and they also envy and want to "copy" them at home. Whether it is a tall villa, a loft, or an ordinary apartment, the wall near the floor-to-ceiling window is the most suitable location, and a large amount of light can minimize the visual pressure.
● The bookshelf compartment design looks simple, but the size is quite particular.
The depth is generally about 300mm, and the height is between 350-400mm depending on the size of the book.
When renovating this small loft in north London, the design studio Craft Design cleverly combined the stairs and bookshelves into one. A series of stairs consisting of bookshelves lead from the living room to the second floor area, maximizing the use of space and making the layout simple and efficient.
● When deciding the design height of the bookshelf, you need to fully consider your own height.
The conventional reference size is around 2100mm. If it is too high, a ladder will be needed for auxiliary use.
The irregular winding walls in rough houses always make people feel annoyed and headache. Difficulties must be faced head-on. Try to use curved bookshelves to make up for the "innate lack of space" and everything will be solved.
● The bookshelf extends along the wall, repairing the space defects and reshaping the space structure, while the color tone and style are integrated with the overall space. You can also use the awkward size of the fragmented space to create a small workbench to increase practicality.
Compared with the curved walls, the load-bearing pillars in the center of the space that cannot be removed are even more annoying. Instead of getting annoyed, it is better to use your brain to add bricks and tiles around it to turn it into something useful.
The living room, which carries the multiple needs of the family, often needs a large integrated cabinet that integrates multiple functions such as TV cabinet, storage cabinet, bookcase, etc. But we must not forget that beauty and wisdom are always the design principles that large cabinets must follow.
● The bookshelf integrated with the TV cabinet and storage cabinet seems to have lost its leading role and only played a supporting role. However, as long as you open the white cabinet doors that resemble the wall, you will find clearly classified and neatly stacked books firmly inside. The closed design can also avoid dust intrusion and save frequent wiping and cleaning.
Glass is transparent and wood is solid. The two are effectively combined to form a partition wall. The decorative and practical effects are far better than the original pure white brick wall in the unfinished house. You can have the best of both worlds.
● The half-bookshelf and half-partition wall design is especially suitable for the design of conference rooms in small-sized rooms or offices. During construction, it is recommended to use a whole piece of glass embedded in the back of the bookshelf instead of small pieces of cut glass, which will provide better overall stability and atmosphere.
Although the space of a one-bedroom apartment is small, it does not mean that it is boring and straightforward. You may try to use partition bookshelves to give the space a wonderful sense of winding and turning layers.
● If this type of bookshelf is placed alone in the living room, there is no wall or ceiling to rely on, so when designing or purchasing, you must carefully consider the sturdiness and stability. At the same time, the bookshelf grid can also be designed to be double-sided, and the book storage space is instantly doubled.
If you don't have mountains of books to fill a huge bookshelf, but still want to have a room with walls full of books and a grand and elegant atmosphere, then you might as well try to lay a "painted skin" of bookcases at home.
● Wall paintings, spray paintings, wallpapers, etc. can help you realize this simulated bookshelf.
Pasting wallpaper is the simplest and most effective method. It can save time, effort and materials during the decoration process, and produce good results with a minimal effort.
Play a real-life stacking game of "Tetris" by the study door. While having fun, add more creativity to make the irregular, asymmetrical and bumpy bookshelf more stylish.
● The seemingly ingenious concave and convex bookshelf is not difficult to put into practice. Select the location and number of double-layer grids in advance, customize the corresponding boxes with wood, iron or acrylic, and then fix them one by one on the bookshelf vertical board.
When you gently turn this revolving bookshelf, will you feel like you have traveled from reality to a movie screen? A bookshelf that can rotate 90°, 180°, or even 360° is definitely a mysterious and exciting thing to own.
● This design is very suitable for master bedrooms with attached cloakrooms or study rooms. The door design is integrated into the bookshelf, and the revolving bookshelf is seamlessly connected to the wall. When closed, it fits tightly without any flaws, ensuring privacy to the greatest extent.
