There are various ways to make bookshelves

As mentioned earlier, the importance of pre-drawings and planning. All creative ideas are planned on the drawings, and the pre-designed route is followed during production. If you find some better ideas in the process, remember to write them down on the drawings first and think about them again and again.

Various familiar things can be used as bookshelves, such as spice racks. Install it on the wall of the room, and since the specifications of each shelf are roughly the same, the time cost of production is greatly reduced.

In addition to being beautiful and practical, DIY bookshelves can also be adjusted according to your convenience. If it is a straight bookshelf, it is not convenient to read when placed on the ground. A bookshelf with a slight tilt can make it more convenient for you to take books.

This picture still talks about the unity of shelf, books and interior decoration.

Cabinets and shelves can be used in combination, and for infants and young children, placing them in a lower place can make it more convenient for them to read.

Who says you can only use cabinets and shelves to store books? You can also use baskets to store toys.

In addition to wood, you can also choose fabric as the shelf. Use curtain fabric as the material to make the shelf lighter.

You can make good use of the plastic basket by installing a small blackboard on it for creative painting.

Combine artistic paints for creative design and bring interior design to the extreme.

The orange color and angular shape make the room more vibrant.
