Bookcases in 4 different variations

Bookcases in 4 different variations

Whether as a single wall shelf, as library furniture, as a visionary concept solution or a flexible storage system – even in the age of the e-reader, the bookcase is indispensable in our homes. Stylight will show you bookcases for various rooms and requirements.

1. Plain and practical – simple bookcases or wall shelves

  • Room size: Wall shelves are classics when it comes to bookcases and are a solid, permanent solution. They can be adapted individually to every wall and room size.
  • Uses: they are anchored to the wall and are suitable for storing other items, for example on the kitchen wall or over the bed
  • Be careful: when mounting always use a spirit level to ensure that the shelf is perfectly straight
  • Brand ideas: Wolf-Möbel, Ars Natura, Jung & Söhne

2. The stand our piece – Individually designed bookcases

  • Room size: One-off designs for large sitting rooms or modern lofts. Designer bookcases require a lot of space in order to achieve their full effect.
  • Area of application: fixed to the wall or freestanding, they are also suitable as room dividers.
  • Be careful: Don’t overload shelves or place them too near other furniture, otherwise they ruin the look of the room instead of providing a tidy ambiance.
  • Brand tips: Kare Design, Bellinzona, Arte M

3. A shelf for everything – expandable bookshelf systems

  • Room size: Shelf systems are especially suited to larger rooms in which entire walls are equipped with shelves.
  • Uses: Reading rooms or studies in stylishly furnished homes or houses with a spacious sitting room. Very stylish: Retro models like, for example, the good old string shelf system. Always expandable in height and width.
  • Be careful: Before buying suspended shelves, such as string shelves, you must check the condition of the walls!
  • Brand tips: California, Atelier Havanna

4. Smart combination solution – media and bookshelves in one

  • Room size: In smaller rooms, where everything needs to find a place on one wall, flat-share rooms, single room apartments or single-person households
  • Uses: affix to the longest wall in the room, opposite the sofa or armchairs. A solution with modern wall unit character, creates order and is multifunctional
  • Be careful: look out for varying height-adjustable shelf boards, otherwise you’re on the way to overflowing shelves and student-related visual chaos
  • Brand tips: Lars Larson, Arte M, loftscape

Nothing makes a room more cozy than a bookshelf. Whether you decide upon a simple wall shelf, an individual standing shelf, an expandable shelf system or a complete set of bookshelves, it depends on how much space you have and how many books you want to stow away.

What’s done is done! Bookcases bring order to your books.
