Bookcases are versatile and adaptable furniture<\/strong>. They give character to a simple room, transforming it into a new design environment<\/strong>. They can be used as a partition<\/strong> between two rooms in the house, to give importance to a room that would be empty, or to give continuity to rooms<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to furnish with bookshelves<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bookshelves that extend mainly vertically<\/strong> are perfect in homes with typical high ceilings<\/strong> of the past. In a small house<\/strong>, it is better to prefer small bookcases, placed in different places in the house, e.g. to fill space in niches and recesses<\/strong>. Another solution in vogue is the bridge bookcase<\/strong>, above the desk or a bed: in this case it is essential to choose materials and colours that give a sense of lightness<\/strong>, so as not to make the room even smaller. A particular <\/strong>proposal, perfect for reading lovers, is to create a bookcase framing<\/strong> a window<\/strong>: perhaps even placing a bench with cushions between the two supporting columns to create a perfect place to relax with a good book and plenty of natural light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classic or modern: a question of style<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A classic or rustic style <\/strong>of furniture would certainly suit a period bookcase<\/strong>: with its solid wood<\/strong> shoulders. Those who focus on design <\/strong>will find countless models to add a touch of modernity to their living room or bedroom: an asymmetrical shelf<\/strong>, for example, has non-homogeneous compartments that cut through monotony. Bearing also this in mind, some more original models allow books to be arranged on slightly inclined shelves<\/strong>, creating a striking unstructured effect. The Scandinavian-style white bookcase and the industrial bookcase<\/strong>, which combine wooden elements and a metal frame, are other popular solutions<\/strong> because they fit virtually any style already present in the home.

A guide to different library models<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The classic bookcase <\/strong>consists of a given number of shelves and is placed directly on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corner bookcase<\/strong> and the corner shelf, on the other hand, form a right angle and, as they easily fit into unused corners of any room, are always a good idea.
The showcase<\/strong>, finally, is a piece of furniture that rests on the floor, usually consisting of drawers and a large glass part, designed to display objects: not only books, but different furnishing accessories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modular bookcase<\/strong> consists of several modules, which can also have different colours and shapes: the modules are assembled as desired, an ideal solution because it is highly customisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which materials to choose for the bookcase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wood<\/strong>, laminate<\/strong>, iron<\/strong>: each type of material has its own specific characteristics and adapts to different rooms in the home. The combination of<\/strong> different materials is also interesting: some models, for example, have iron uprights and wooden shelves<\/strong>. This said, a natural wood bookcase is undoubtedly the best choice from an aesthetic point of view and in terms of sturdiness: a 3 cm thick wooden shelf has a much higher load-bearing capacity than a laminate shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wall bookcase: inspiration and suggestions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A wall of books. Even in the digital age, the wall-mounted bookcase never loses its appeal<\/strong>. Furniture that has a great impact on the style of a room, but also on the life of a home. The wall-mounted bookcase is a very successful model in design houses<\/strong>: it is fixed to the wall and has no feet contacting the floor<\/strong>. This type of solution is characterised by a particularly<\/strong> elegant<\/strong> and light<\/strong> style<\/strong> , but it can only support a certain weight: do not overdo it, otherwise the fasteners may fail. If the bookcase is made to measure<\/strong>, it allows for an area covered to the centimetre and becomes an indispensable piece of furniture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
