If you are an avid reader, then you probably require a lot of book space, especially if you are the type that likes to own the books you read. And that much book space means a need for a lot of shelves. But why bother with the simple shelving when you can put your imagination to work and create something much more creative for the home. Let the imagination loose and see what you can come up with. You will be amazed of all the ideas you will be able to come up with. As per usual, a bit of brainstorming and effort will get you places for sure. You just have to come up with the proper designs and then work hard to get your books the space they deserve.
The Staircase
This one is definitely among the most popular one nowadays. If you live in a house with more than one storey, then you can do some home improvement and change up the staircase to make it look like a levelled bookshelf. It is a practical choice as you get both a pretty-looking staircase and a lot of space for your books without sacrificing any space around the house.
The Corner Spiral
Corners are not that used as bookshelves, but it is unknown why. In fact, a corner bookshelf design looks pretty bad ass, and if you can get a local handyman to do some carpentry jobs for you, you could plank up and literally have a sweet corner for your books. Literary nooks are a great thing to behold and have at your home. A velvet-y armchair in a comfy part of the house near a cool bookcase will look more than nice, and just you try setting up a sofa near it, it will be a place you will not want to leave.
The Letter Shelves
Want to do something really creative? If you are good with woodwork, or if you can find a professional handyman good enough for the job, then make a bookshelf (or bookshelves) which spells out something. Your name, a big ‘READ’ on the wall, or whatever tickles your fancy. Get some meta creativity and do the design for a great aesthetic feeling. Letter up the home and think of ways to improve the décor as well.
The Furniture Shelves
Another great and practical way to get a bookshelf is to hollow up your furniture and make bookshelves out of them. They will provide you with enough space and you will not have to make any clutter around the home. Combine the comfort you want for yourself with the comfort you want for the books and you will have quite the good time to spend lying down and browsing for books just by touch. Also, this way you won’t have to worry about doing old furniture removal and disposal London, just a bit of remodeling.
Get a good handyman service to help you and start working. Your books need some attention and you can be responsible for giving them the best-looking bookshelf your mind can come up with. With all the designs possible, only your imagination can limit the amount of things you can do.
