Corner Bookshelves
If you have a huge collection of books, arranging the same in a right way is equally important. Many individuals have a personal library with a number of books from various genres and the books are often seen lying on tables and shelves as there's no good place to keep them. And in case of lack of space, where does one keep his/her books? And that too in an organized way? While a common shelf or cabinet used for placing books and stationery is sure to become a mess in a short period of time, having one shelf designed especially for your collection of books is a great idea. So why not consider a corner bookshelf? A corner shelf is an ultimate space saver furniture which will help you place your books and also utilize the unused corners in the house. De-clutter a corner of your room and have the piece of furniture placed over there. Here are some tips and ideas on corner bookshelves which you can consider while buying one for yourself.
Ideas on Designs
Plan It Right
Before you start browsing for a ready-made corner bookcase or plan to order one, make sure you have a design plan in mind. There are a few factors that you need to consider while buying the corner shelves for placing your books. You need to buy something that will accommodate your existing collection and also keep space for further additions to the collection. Next, decide the area where you will be placing this piece. While an open corner bookshelf offers ease of removing and placing books and also allows you to have some unusual shelf designs and shapes, having a closed piece simply helps you keep that dust away. Well, having a closed shelf is not always possible. Like if you are having a corner piece in a semicircle or arched shape then it is best to keep it open.
Sectioning Helps
Let me tell you, the right bookshelf is one which offer right sections for placing the book collection consisting of a variety of books easily. While the equally sized shelves in a closed corner bookshelf are much common, you need to buy something which is more smartly designed. Having a bookshelf in the corner with mix-sized sections is a great idea. Like a larger one for kids' craft books and story books, a smaller-sized section for small comic books, small sections at the bottom for audio books and so on... When you have a few sections made in the shelf, it helps you organize the books, category-wise. So this will ensure that your leadership books do not mix up with the romance novels and so on. It will also make the task of finding books much easier.
Design Creatively
Designing your own bookshelf in the best way you can is much essential to utilize that space rightly. Remember that corner space offers bookshelves the best space and you can do a lot with it in terms of creativity and utility. If you have two free corners available in the same room, consider adding two pieces of same shelves. Explore your creativity and sketch some unique designs. Look at the images and find out the best one for your rooms. You can consider creative bookshelves like those with a snake shaped design, a half spider web design or a staircase styled structure and other such different designs. A built-in bookshelf in the corner is also a great space saver idea. Bookshelves for kids can be finished with colorful veneers.
