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.
