The effort is always to blend luxury while taking care of space constraint. One such example is the innovative bookshelves designed with a motive to bring comfort and fulfill its purpose of storing books without hassle. The following designs of bookshelves will prove this point:
1. Bookshelf on the staircase:
Designed for a house in Czech Republic, Adam Jirkal, Jerry Kozaa, and Tomáš Kalhous have come up with a way of creating a book shelf that can be a definite space saver. No doubt, they brought the concept of ‘books on the rise’ come true.
2. Bookshelf with a rocking chair DONDOLA:
Designed by Pucci de Rossi, the Dondola is a rocking chair with a book shelf. A clean curvy shape, the neat design makes for a spacious place not just for your books but also for the reader. However, this one is meant to be more a chance to display the books you are reading or about to read rather a book shelf per se as it is balanced by heavy books at the right place. Nevertheless, you have to admit, this piece of furniture is a nice way to settle down with a book or to let your guests admire your taste in books and furniture.
3. Bookshelf with couch:
This bookshelf with a couch, designed by Stanislav Katz, gives the effect of a library look. It is ideal for people who crave to have a library in their house but are worried about the space limits. Designed with both storing books and the reader in mind, the exterior is made of handcrafted and painted MDF and the interior is made of soft and springy polyurethane. The Baroque inspired design is bright, eye catching, and comfortable for reading.
4. Bookshelf with the cave effect:
Another space saver, this one is also a great option for those with plenty of books but no time to actually build a bookshelf. At 8.000 euros this may seem a little expensive but teamed with that cozy feeling while reading a book, this might just appeal to those book lovers who are in dire need of bookshelves but with very little time to design it themselves.
5. Bookshelf with an armchair:
Here’s a bookshelf with a different kind of look. The bookshelf by Malin Lundmark is a divine cross between a bathtub, armchair, and a bookcase, with plenty of room for everything. While we aren’t sure how practical it is, this is one design that is going to be hard not to whimsically sigh.
6. Bookshelf with a comfortable curve chair with built-in book storage:
Available in bright neon shades, this comfortable curve chair is a great way to carry (or drag) your bookshelf to any room as per your requirement. You can place this chair in the middle of your luxurious balcony or indoors on a rainy day, perhaps even in front of the television, this piece of furniture is good to go!
7. Bookshelf with a built-in coffee table:
It’s a heavenly feeling reading your favorite book while sipping coffee. Now the combination of a bookshelf and a coffee table is possible. Designed by Dave Pickett this bookshelf is great for those looking for a great piece of furniture that comes handy at the same time.
8. Bookshelf with a kingsize sofa:
Feel like a king as you sit surrounded by your beloved book collection. This bookshelf with a sofa can be modified according to your taste and comfort. For example, you can choose the texture of the cushions – leather, cloth etc. You can also choose your desired color. The bookchair is bright, compact and customizable – great for every home with avid readers.
9. Bookshelf with a rafter:
Several of us look at our plain ceilings numerous times and wonder how we could put that very boring white ceiling to some use at all. Well here’s an idea – use a few planks and convert the seemingly useless ceiling into a vast storage space for all the books that you can buy. This one is as cheap as it is outstanding. What’s better, take your creativity a little further and this may even turn out to be a great way to make space for other interests.
10. Bookshelf with a bed bookcase:
Add romance to your reading. Newlyweds, just getting on their feet will find this a rather charming design. Every urbanite living in a matchbox apartment might find this a better idea. Nevertheless Karen’s Bed Bookcase is a great way to decorate your apartment with just one purchase. Cute as well as innovative, this shelf plus bookcase has a great design and is a great twist to the dreary fold up bed.
