Show off your collections with a bookshelf

Monday, February 8th, 2010

When you’ve managed to amass a nice collection of books, you’re likely to be pretty proud of yourself. Think of all those literary masterpieces you’ve waded through and all those travels guides for the places you’ve been around the world. The last thing you want to do after all that is keep it all hidden, so why not indulge yourself and show off a little?

It’s great to watch people flock towards your bookcase when they come by for a visit and it gives you the chance to wax lyrical on the things you’ve read or the places you’ve seen. Aside from being a purely practical place to keep your books, a bookcase makes a really nice feature in a room, whether it stands in your bedroom or your lounge. They also make great home office storage solutions for all your business resources.

If books aren’t your thing then that doesn’t mean bookcases can’t be. Photographs, ornaments, candles and all sorts of interior decorative trinkets can take advantage of pride of place on a lovely wooden bookcase.

Oak, pine and ash all make attractive bookcases, going from the very richest and darkest colours to the very brightest and freshest. Get those books on a shelf where they belong. You never know – you may even feel like reading a few of them!

Choosing the best bookcase for your needs

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Although they’ve been around for many years now, bookcases are still extremely popular in homes today. Not only do they look fantastic, they’re also highly functional and can be used to store a range of items of all sizes.

There are such a wide range of bookcases on the market today that making a purchase decision can seem a little daunting. However, if you follow a few simple pointers, the decision will be made much easier, and you will find yourself with a bookcase that you will love for years to come.

If the room in which you intend to put the bookcase is a little on the small side you should opt for a small 2 shelf bookcase. These styles are small in height (just under 100cm), although they are still really useful for storing books and small items.

If you have more room, then the choices are endless. Large oak bookcases look amazing in any home, and many come with integrated cupboards which give you even more storage space.

Another factor to consider is your budget- this will help you to narrow your options down considerably.

Consider the existing decor of the room when choosing a bookcase, and choose a style that will fit in seamlessly. Oak and ash bookcases look great with all types of decor as they are classic in style and colour.

Bookcases are a fantastic way to update the look of a room without having to spend a fortune.

Bookcases – almost as important as the books themselves

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Bookcases are highly prized items of furniture, as they look after books – and books are wonderful. They teach us how to cook, how to write, how to read (shocker!) how to relax, and best of all, how other people live, or could live. They tell us about other worlds, and let us forget where we are, just for a while.
If we didn’t look after our books properly, we wouldn’t be able to read them. And what’s the point in having books if you can’t read them? So, to properly stack your books, you need a good bookcase.

There are bookcases in all sorts of materials: metal, plastic, even glass. But of course, the good old traditional option of wood is the sturdiest, the prettiest and the most popular. You can stain it pink, or green, or have it natural and old – like your favourite WB Yeats poetry collection.

Whatever style you like, there is a bookcase out there – waiting for you. Your books want to live in it, your living room wants to look after it, it wants to be your friend. OK, so that’s maybe taking it a little far, but you get the picture. Choose a bookcase that screams ‘I LOVE MY BOOKS’ or one that says ‘Actually, I’m rather intellectual, don’t you know’.

Either way, whether you’re a bookworm, an academic, or just as avid chef with recipe books coming out of your ears, a house is not a home without a bookcase.
