You Can Never Have Too Many Bookshelves


January 8th, 2012

Christmas is coming, so we should be all decorating our homes with glittery candles, and little Santas and shiny snowflakes and centerpieces and table cloths and God knows what else. But even more important is all the space we need to receive guests, because there is no Christmas celebrating without friends over for a glass of wine, carols and jokes, coziness and happy vibes.

Consequently, I was just facing this past couple of days the following problem: I got tons of books all over the place. Stacks of fiction, dictionaries, huge philosophy volumes and magazines I wouldn’t want to throw away cause you never know when they’re going to be useful. They pile up on the floor of the living room, devouring all that space and looking messy. Solution to that, bookshelves obviously, but not any kind of bookshelves. Have you checked out what are the trends? If you haven’t, then you’re in for a big surprise. The new designs of bookshelves are absolutely magnificent, from the colors, to the structure, they’re going to blow your mind. So very interestingly shaped, they’re the sheer definition of creativity. It would be a pity to skip research online and just stop at the hypermarket for a boring squared metallic bookshelf and not take advantage of the multitude of options we now have.

Not only do they serve for book keeping, but can also add a very personal and modern plus factor to the whole appearance of your living room. You can now actually turn this utility item into the most mesmerizing looking object in the entire room. All you have to do is look for creative bookshelves online, and you’ll soon discover you a few too many.

Surprisingly enough, it is possible to store your books inside a properly built table and still look very fancy ! Or a chair, a couch, even inside the staircase itself ! The days of traditional shelves hanging down the walls are way gone. Nowadays, those that still are wall-attached look so carefully carved and curl up like true pieces of art. When you’ll have friends walking inside your living room, they’ll be too amazed to actually realize they’re looking at a bookshelf, they’ll be too busy being fascinated by their shape because they usually look like depicted from a contemporary museum of modern arts.

At the end of your search, you might consider hiring someone to build them, since you won’t find such craftship at the store down the street you’re living on, and you don’t find such beauties easily to order online either, but you do find ideas, that make everything seem worthy. Do get inspired and go for what most excites your eyes, some effort and time consuming but eventually you’ll be thrilled with the dream bookshelves coming to life, that you won’t regret anything. Christmas is coming, so take good care of those books lying on the floor and get yourself a Merry Christmas in a beautifully decorated living room with your loved ones.
