The Best Ways To Maximise Book Storage Space In Your Bedroom
Bedroom interiors are as much about storage as they are about sleep, where this is usually the one space in the house where we keep our nearest and dearest possessions. For many of us, this includes our books, which are put on display for both aesthetic and literary purposes.
Once a book collection begins to expand, it can be difficult to find the space for every volume. Traditional bookshelves can be bulky and expensive, where they don’t always make the most of the bespoke dimensions of your room.
Fortunately, there are numerous storage alternatives that can help you to house books properly - read on for a look at some of the best ways you can maximise your library space.
Floating Bookshelves
A popular design choice in recent years, floating bookshelves can allow you to store your book collection without compromising on floorspace. These shelves are attached directly to the wall, without a supporting framework, where this helps to create a tidy, effortless look for your bedroom.
Space Utilisation
A major drawback of traditional shelving is that it doesn’t make the most of unused storage potential in your room, where thinking outside the box can help you to find more space. For instance, book display containers can be fitted under the bed, on window sills or above your headboard, helping you to find a spot for every volume.
Stacking Methods
Books don’t always have to be stood upright on shelves. In fact, stacking can help you to fit more books in the same space, whilst still allowing you to view each title. Piles can be created with spines facing outwards, where these can be grouped by colour, author or size to ensure your display looks cohesive.
Bespoke Fitted Shelving
The best way to fit more books into your bedroom is to invest in a fitted shelving unit. Custom shelves make the most of every inch of space, unlike freestanding alternatives, meaning you can fit books around a sloping ceiling, room corners or other pieces of furniture.
Bespoke pieces also look incredibly sleek, helping to reduce clutter and heaviness throughout your bedroom.
