18 Built-In Bookcase Ideas to Display Your Collection in Style
And solve your storage woes.
Built-in bookcases provide so much more than extra storage (though they're great for that, too). They eliminate the need for a shelving system or other bulky storage items that inevitably eat into the useable floor space and built-in bookcases also bring instant polish, dimension, and warmth to an entire room since they give you a place to display art, knick-knacks, and, most importantly, your library collection. Whether you've just inherited a space with built-in bookshelves (lucky you!) but aren't sure how to style them, or you need some inspiration before you build your own, you're in the right place. Ahead, you'll find 18 designer examples of built-in bookcases of every size, shape, style, and room, each with clever ideas and tips to apply to your own home office, dining room, living room, and beyond.
