While book cases are a great way to show off your amazing library collection, they can also be used as storage for other odds and ends and little trinkets. This added functionality makes book cases an amazing addition to any living space. At the same time, book cases can be used as display units for awards, artwork and collections if arranged in an interesting way. Whatever you want to use your bookcase for, read on for some great tips to ensure you make the best use of your space.
Types
Depending on the size of the space you have to play with and the design of bookcase you have in mind, there is a variety of options to choose from. Ranging from a ladder bookshelf, a barrister shelf to corner and wall bookshelves, the options are limitless. If you are lacking in space or your walls just need a facelift, this would be the best option for you. Just ensure that they are well mounted and will support the weight the things you want to support.
Material
Durability and affordability are two factors you would want to consider when picking material to use. Hardwood may be a tad more costly than all other materials but they will give you a durable product that will serve you for a long time.
Location
You will want to think through where to put your book case so that it serves all the purposes you need it to serve. Things kept in the same place for a long time tend to collect dust. It would be wise to change things up and keep the look fresh.
Maintained well, a good book case is a thing of beauty and will serve you for a long time.
