How to design a bookshelf?

Being a passionate reader, I love a well-designed bookshelf. One of my friends who himself was an avid reader once asked me how to decorate my bookshelf. I told him that the greatest idea for bookshelf decor is an eye-catching arrangement to create books that look fantastic and are still easily accessible.

How to Style your Bookshelves?

• Safeguard Your Priceless Editions:

I told my friend to use glass doors to cover some shelves so that he could securely keep some rare books, first editions, or maybe your all-time favourite book.

• Paint it:

This is my favourite part. I asked him to paint the wood of his bookshelf using the same accent color as the room's trim

• Play with the Levels:

Books can be casually leaned, stood vertically, or stacked horizontally. Adjust the height of your decor with flowers, sculptures, and framed pictures.

• Accept Negative Space: 

Avoid crowding! Give space for breathing between books and items. 

How to Design Your Bookshelf?

I also highlighted a few bookshelf designs;

• Wooden bookshelf with backlighting

• Wall mounted bookshelves

• Ladder bookshelf

• A combination of metal and MDF modern bookshelf

• Geometric wall bookshelf

Finally, after these suggestions, I told my friend that there is no one-size-fits-all method. So it's better to explore!

I believe it's important to choose a corner bookshelf design that allows the shelf to seamlessly fit into your space. Bookshelves don't need to be a utilitarian storage unit. They can be versatile pieces of furniture that are both functional and aesthetic. One can keep books, magazines, and decorative items on their shelf.

1. The first step of the designing process is thinking of the room where you want to place the shelf. You need to decide whether you require a small bookshelf for a specific corner or a shelf which can be moved from room to room.

2. Then, keeping in mind the dimensions and available space, sketch out the design. You can use apps like ‘Procreate’ to sketch the outline.

3. Then, choose the right materials for constructing the bookshelf. Opt for high-quality plywood with a smooth finish.

4. You can customise your bookshelf by incorporating  different colours, textures, or patterns on the back panel of the shelves

5. Once your bookshelf is complete, arrange your books in a way that makes them look aesthetic. You can organise them by genre, author, or colour.
