Let's take a fresh approach to placing books and accessories in the home. We bring to your attention a selection of ideas for placing shelves in the house.

All the ideas proposed in our selection are simple, but with a claim to genius. They look much better than the standard options that we are used to seeing in any furniture store and in every average apartment.

We warn you right away: the original arrangement of the shelves is a very exciting and contagious game, to participate in which, as well as to create its rules, is extremely interesting.

Dual-purpose shelf

When a bookcase is at the same time a door to a room or to a staircase.

Colorful shelves

It is worth painting the shelves in bright juicy colors and decorating them with photographs or stucco moldings, as they themselves become objects of art.

Shelf for things that are dear to my heart

In every home there are things that have no practical value, but are value in themselves - they convey warm and sincere greetings from the past. It is better not to throw them into a dark corner, but to put them on a special shelf, at the same time, putting them in order: wrap books in white paper or cloth, rinse bottles, clean old equipment from dust.

Trick library

We create the effect of a huge library. Just apply a photo wallpaper with a realistic image of bookshelves on the walls. Place real shelves with books on top. The feeling of being in a large, cozy library is guaranteed!

Wall-mounted shelves

Wall-mounted bookshelves create a cozy reading area separate from the rest of the living room.

Monochrome shelves with colored splashes

Pure white shelves do not distract attention from the most important things that are stored on them. It can be some finds, oil paintings, watches inherited from grandmother and other antiques.

Massive shelves for powerful pieces

Collected works, decorated with light gilding, slightly worn volumes of great classics, massive dictionaries and familiar reference books - all this always looks very impressive on any shelves. But you can emphasize their pomp with massive shelves. Such a bookcase will look great in the hallway: so that guests will immediately understand that they have entered the house of a true book lover.

Cozy reading corner

Combining a sofa and bookshelves is a great idea! I chose a book and you don't have to go far to indulge in fascinating reading. This option is especially good for a nursery.

Smart space

Storing things in a conspicuous place - in cabinets without doors, right on the shelves - is a squeak of fashion. Take this fact into account and simply place the books not "in", but "on" the cabinet (or directly on the mezzanine).

Framing the doorway

It is very effective to frame doorways with bookshelves and cabinets. And it is not at all necessary to store only books on them! You can, for example, vases, candlesticks, photo frames.

Attractive black

Monochrome black shelves make a good and non-distracting backdrop for books and personal creations.

Floor-to-ceiling shelves

Curved walls? Too lazy to plaster or paint? Or just a hole in the wall? Make shelves along the entire length and width of the wall, and such questions will disappear by themselves. But seriously, wall-to-wall shelves are a great and practical idea.

Weightless shelves

Several brackets, self-tapping screws - this is enough to create the effect of books floating in the air. It couldn't be easier!

Life hacking shelves with a touch of creativity

If you take Ikeev's shelves and fasten them in a chaotic manner with office blinder clips, you get a creative space not only for books, but also for various other things. Cheap and very angry.

Cushioned shelves

Another cool idea for saving space. Place books, magazines, candlesticks under your sofa or bed. Sooo convenient.

Ladder shelves

Perhaps one of the most original and useful ideas is to organize shelves under and inside staircases. The capacity is good.

Racks for space zoning

Bookshelves, open or closed, do an excellent job of demarcating zones in an apartment. For example, such a rack can be used to distinguish between a kitchen and a living room, a work area and a recreation area.

Fabric shelves

Another chic idea for children's shelves. Required: 2 cornices and fabric. Pros: no sharp corners, roominess may vary, space saving, and looks rather unusual.

Drawer shelves

It's a good idea to create a shelf from a drawer. We turn the box over and glue it from the inside with wallpaper or something more fun, fasten it vertically to the wall and rejoice at how great we are.
