The first step in determining what the right piece for your home will be is to choose a spot for your bookcase. This will also help you decide what type of case will best suit your room. Make sure you measure not only for height and width, but also measure the maximum depth you have to work with. You do not want your bookcase to block the flow of traffic in your room. We have a wide variety of bookcases to fit your space:
Standard Bookcases – Available in a variety of heights and widths, standard bookcases sit flat against the wall and usually have adjustable shelves deep enough to hold standard-depth books. They are also easier to move than other types of bookshelves. In addition to being put flat against a wall, these units may also be used as room dividers, or put back to back.
Corner Bookcases – Corner units are a great way to save space in a room. They are usually triangular in structure with rounded shelves, but may also look like two rectangular units joined in the corner. While they may not hold as many books as a regular shelf, they are perfect for presenting your books, mementos and knick-knacks all together in your room.
Wall Systems – Wall units create the look of a built-in library and provide a large storage space for not only your books, but pictures, multimedia gear, and collectibles as well. While these units may have components that can also stand alone, a large area will be needed to put together the entire unit. Wall units will give a custom, built-in look and a library-like feel to your room.
Barrister Bookcases – Originating in Great Britain, the barrister bookcase is a traditional shelving unit that is distinguished by clear glass doors that easily flip up and slide back out of sight when access is needed. The barrister system is modular, and several units may be stacked to create wall units, cabinets or sofa tables. The wood, glass, and hardware options can give your barrister bookcase a simple or ornate appearance, depending on your preference.
Children's Bookcases – Made of rugged materials and built to accommodate a child's shorter height, these bookcases are designed for nurseries and playrooms. Most feature bright finishes and designs to captivate your child's imagination. Child-sized bookshelves are constructed to allow easy access to any book your child may want, and encourage a lifelong love of reading. They also work well in a waiting room environment by helping to reduce clutter.
Headboard Bookcases – Becoming an increasingly popular to save space in the bedroom, headboard bookcases can provide an elegant solution to your storage problems. These bookshelves are intended to sit flush against the wall. Many of these headboards feature sliding doors and compartments to stow your books, reading lights, and other necessities when you are relaxing in bed.
