Bookcase

Very often people in homes accumulate a huge amount of literature, which you need somewhere to place. If it is 10-20 copies, then there will be enough ordinary shelf or plastic box, but if they accumulate a lot, then you will have to buy special furniture. And here, as never before, the bookcase becomes useful. It has several rows of shelves, which compactly accommodate all the publications accumulated over many years, and thanks to the transparent doors your guests can admire the elegant covers of collectible specimens.

The lineup

Manufacturers offer many interesting models of cabinets, which differ in shape, facade material and other stylistic details. Starting from this, several interesting models can be distinguished:

1. Corner book cabinet . This model is suitable for small rooms in which each meter of residential space is valued. It is easily installed in the free angle of the room and has a high capacity. If it is possible to occupy two walls at once in a room, then you can install a large cabinet, with additional open shelves, where you can store figurines, vases and other pleasant things.
2. Wall cabinet for books . It is more like a large shelf with or without doors. Its main advantage is that it does not take up space on the floor, so it can be hung over a sofa, bed or TV. Hanging closets often combine open and closed shelves , as a result of which you can save not only literature, but also what you need to hide from prying eyes.
3. Sliding cabinets for books with glass . Created for real lovers of literature whose collection already has several hundred books. Sliding libraries have two or three rows of shelves, one behind the other. To get to the shelf, standing in the background, it is enough to push the front and just take the right book.
4. Children's bookcase . This model is characterized by creative design and rich color. It can be made in the form of a house, a tree or shelves-boxes, set one on the other. Inside such furniture you can store not only textbooks and notebooks, but also small toys, stationery and other important trifles.

Many models of bookcases are equipped with additional side open shelves, which usually store frames with photos, boxes and various souvenirs. Such additions make the appearance of furniture more presentable, and the room is more comfortable.

Creative approach

Some furniture designers experiment with cabinet models, equipping them with curved shelves and built-in lights. Some closets even combine with armchairs and sofas, as a result of which all elements look inseparable from each other. Such products are recommended to be installed in rooms with modern interiors and minimalist decor. If desired, you can make creative furniture the main accent of the interior.

How to choose?

When buying a bookcase, pay attention not only to its appearance, but also to such quality indicators as capacity, the way of opening and the depth of the shelves. So, if you plan to replenish your home library monthly, it is reasonable to buy a high cabinet with deep shelves, on which you can install two rows of books. If you manage two dozen books and several magazines, there will be a fairly compact hinged structure with combined shelves (open and closed). She will not take too much space in the house and will accommodate many useful things in everyday life.
