Again, there’s also nothing wrong with just cramming those shelves with books and only books-in fact, sometimes that’s the most powerful design statement you can make.ġ. Vessels are your book’s best friends, and decorative objects are their long lost mates. Here’s a hint: bookcases will look more styled and put together when books are accompanied with other items (sorry for making you read the most boring sentence ever written, but it is true). #27 would be a great choice to add a ton of character, while something like #5 could be more minimal and quiet depending on how you chose to fill the shelves.
In a small footprint (or any home really, no matter the size), designing “up” is a powerful tool to both save space but also create interest for the eye high and low. Tall Vertical Bookcasesįirst up, we have tall vertical bookcases. So, assuming you have your books and tchotchkes that need a home, let’s get you a bookcase. We scoured the internet for tall and short, vertical and horizontal, slim and wide bookcases for any and all potential square footages and budgets.
So today, I am not going to try and recruit you to participate in an EHD worldwide book club (although that would be fun…wait should we start a book club?) but instead will present to you over 70 bookcases that we really really love right now. Take it from someone who will immediately scan a bookshelf in any home I enter to see what the owner is into, books can say a lot about a person and their style. If I have somewhat lost you on what is beginning to seem like an ode to books, have no fear because I am mostly here to say books are an important styling tool that can show off your interests and personality (or, even if you don’t style with them and just let them be in their natural habitat, books are such an important part of a home). I like reading them once and then reading them again. I like seeing the wear of their spines indicating a vigorous read. I like looking at them and being reminded of the stories within. As it so happens, displaying these books in my home has become a source of comfort. It turns out when you are someone like me, studying literature eventually becomes synonymous with hoarding books, so to this day, I have an absurd number of books that I hold near and dear to my heart like a coin collector would their many coins. When you don’t have a math brain or an inkling for science, you sort of need to stick with what you know, and reading is what I know. In my mind, the reasoning behind my choice in higher education was quite simple: I love reading and writing.
Anyone who received a degree in Liberal Arts might guess the popular response: “Oh, so you want to be a teacher?” My answer would be a big resounding no, leaving them scratching their heads and praying I would change my mind and switch to a more reasonable major, such as business. When I was in college and family members would ask what I was planning on doing with my life (as family members do), I would proudly reveal that I was studying English literature.
