Bookcase and Bookshelf Ideas For Living Rooms

Bookshelf Ideas -Modern living room with skylights, sofa and chairs and stunning full length white bookcase

For an example of great bookshelf ideas, take a look at this modern living room with skylights, red sofa and two simple chairs with stunning full length white bookcase and parquet wood flooring.

If you’ve been looking for some decent bookcase and bookshelf ideas for your living room and have pretty much come up empty handed, we understand. Finding a decent selection of bookshelves to choose from your own specific needs can be challenging and often you’ll end up needing to have something custom built to meet your requirements.

Off the shelf (excuse the pun) bookcase styles in many retail outlets are somewhat limited and tend to be more traditional and simple in their style, so as to meet the requirements of most clients, however, if this doesn’t fit with what you want or need, then you’ll probably end up heading down the bespoke route, assuming you can afford the expense that many cabinet makers, and custom build firms charge. (You can probably expect to pay twice the price, or more, for a bespoke built unit that meets your specific measurements, or look and finish when compared to the readily available units from your nearby retail outlet)

Here we present examples of lots of different bookshelves and bookcases for you to navigate through. There are bespoke units and there are simplistic units, but across the board, there should be something to inspire you, something that grabs your attention and says to you ‘pick me’, then all you’ll need to do is wade through the various stores in your area, or online and see whether or not you can find what you’re looking for.

Dining rooms are for many different occasions, and setting out a dining room table for those special events or occasions that occur can make those times feel even more special.

A lot of interior designs for bathrooms in the modern home styles these days are being built with beautiful bath tubs installed. There are many practical types of bath tubs and they can be made from a range of different materials, from the old claw foot styled baths made of porcelain enamel over steel, to the modern versions made of acrylic or fiberglass, but alternatives exist too, where they may be made from cast iron, aluminium, ceramics, and occasionally even waterproofed wood.

Besides the construction material, there are equally as many shapes and styles, from the simple everyday rectangular shape with rounded edges, through to expensive elaborate examples of the same shape, or even the inset corner baths, round baths, free standing baths, square-ish shaped baths, jacuzzi baths (with jets) or oval shaped baths. Whatever your preference of style, shape or material, there is usually a modern bath style that will fit your needs. And if you have a big budget, then you can make your bath as elaborate and ornate as you like with custom built bath tubs.

Mudroom Ideas Featuring Storage Areas & Benches

Mudroom ideas in a home offer such practical usable space for the whole family. The image above is of a lovely semi combined laundry mudroom with the laundry room being an annex that sits off to the side of the mud room where there hangs horse blankets and other items and has a rich timber floor.

A mudroom is one of those ‘must haves’ when we look to build a new house and our ideas of a great mudroom often feature copious storage areas & benches. A mudroom happens to be one of those hardworking rooms in the house that also often receives little thought.

Its not until we end up not having one, that we really appreciate just how much we valued it. As one of the main entrances to the home (but not as visible as the main front entrance) it has a practical purpose of ensuring the outside items, such as clothing, hats, raincoats, shoes, etc are kept in a place where they will be well organized and not get lost. These rooms also help to keep the house clean and tidy

The key features a mudroom should have in order to be optimally used are (in no particular order);

Space for those ‘non house’ items that we all need to grab on our way out. Usually umbrellas, scarves, hats, rain coats, jackets and the like, and most often the use of hooks, hangers, and racks will meet this need
Having a piece of furniture with cupboards, cubby holes, drawers, or even locker-type space will really help keeping things organized. Whether these spaces are closed or open is really up to the home owner, but having a space for each family member will also give each person somewhere they store their own items in an organized fashion
A low height bench can prove useful as well for a place to sit and take off your shoes. Making space within this for boots and shoes would be a great idea also.
Think to provide a cupboard or closet for storing items that are perhaps seasonal and won’t be used for several months. At least that way, when the new season rolls around, you’ll at least know where to look for it first.
Having a practical storage area or closet (whether separate or not s up to you) for storing household chemicals, cleaning items, mops, brooms, etc and other miscellaneous utility items
Some like to make the laundry and the mud room a combined room and thats up to you. There are advantages and disadvantages of both. Having them combined in a single space enables you to quickly throw dirty clothes into the washer without having to traipse them through the house
The last items to consider for the mudroom would be a wash up sink or large tub for quick wash-ups, cleanups, and the like. If you decide on including one of these, (and you should) then you’d want to make sure the floor in the mudroom is suitably impervious, for example a tile floor will help make it durable, impervious to water and easy to keep clean.
