Beautiful Bookshelves

Finding a good bookshelf has never been easier

 

ReadItRibbit’s bookshelf which also doubles up as a general storage space

If you’re reading a book blog, it’s likely that you have a large collection of books. How a person chooses to store their books can say a lot about them. Do you alphabetise your books and split them into subject matter (*cough* guilty as charged: I was a bookseller for two years….) or arrange them by colour or size? Do you keep your books stacked neatly at the side of your bed or are they a teetering tower scraping the ceiling?

Once viewed as a storage item alone, the humble bookshelf has evolved into a design piece. From the quirky to the space-saving, bookshelves can fit in with your decor or act as a centerpiece for your room.

If you’re looking for inspiration for your own home, or like us, you’re fantasising about your dream book nook, you’ll want to head over to Bookshelf Porn. This gorgeous blog is devoted to the best bookshelves around (and totally family friendly in case you were wondering…).We could spend hours scrolling through the pictures on offer and we’ve squirreled away a few ideas for the future.

After stumbling across Bookshelf Porn, ReadItRibbit has been getting serious bookshelf envy, so much so that we’ve been updating Pinterest to make our own gallery of the best brilliant and quirky book storage around. If you think you’re the owner of a bookshelf worthy of our gallery, send us a picture and you too could feature in our Gallery of book nooks, shelves and rooms.
