Do you think the place for your library is only on a shelf or in a closet? Not at all – books can become an effective element of the interior. We prove it with clear examples!
1. Under the table
Arrange books in even stacks and place them under the table – they will appear as if they are additional legs. If you place several additional decorative elements on the table, you will get a complete composition.
2. Next to or under the bed
In such a bed with niches, it is convenient to store favorites from your personal library. If you can’t find a similar model, move a mini-rack to the back, which is not against the wall, and place books in it.
3. Along the wall
Even on the wall of a narrow long corridor you can find a place for a small shelf and put books on it. The result will be a kind of showcase. On the opposite wall, you can hang framed photos or paintings.
4. Under the stairs
If you are the happy owner of a country house, then you can also use the space under the stairs to store books.
5. In a decorative fireplace
A false fireplace is a spectacular element of the interior in itself, but it is always better to decorate it with something. You can put candles inside, put firewood or… books and magazines – why not?
6. In the partition for zoning
Pay attention to this practical solution for zoning: on the one hand, it is a partition that outlines the living area, on the other, a bookcase.
7. As a flower stand
Stack books and place a pot of houseplant on top. This solution will add bohemianism to the interior.
8. On the coffee table
Usually, books or magazines lie on the countertop, but nothing prevents you from choosing a model with sections for storage. Don’t want to spend money? Just connect four identical drawers together and get a spectacular hand-made table in which you can conveniently store books and other small items.
9. On low shelves
As a rule, shelves are hung at eye level – if you want to stand out, place them almost on the floor. This solution is especially appropriate if you live in an attic with a sloping roof.
10. In the mini closet in the toilet
Look at this compact and truly unusual solution. Such a bookcase in the restroom will definitely surprise guests!
11. As a seat
The photo shows a real model of a stool, which consists of a stand with legs, straps, a pillow, and newspapers or magazines, which, if desired, can be replaced with large books (for example, albums with reproductions). The advantages of such furniture are its original and changeable design, as well as the ability to adjust the height of the stool.
12. On an unusual shelf
If you are still used to storing books on shelves, then you can find an unusual option here: modern designers offer a lot of racks and shelves of the most unusual designs. A great option to stand out without going overboard.
13. In the mini library
Such a cozy reading room is simply heaven for an introvert who lives in a small apartment. True, to create such a library, you will most likely have to resort to the help of professional designers and carpenters.
14. Just stacks
Yes, yes, sometimes you can simply stack books beautifully against the wall – and they will become a spectacular interior detail. This option is suitable for young, freedom-loving people who cannot stand conventions and difficult decisions.
