With the change of the concept of home life, the function of the bookcase is no longer limited to placing books and displaying storage and has gradually become an important part of home style.

An excellent bookcase should not only meet the aesthetic standards but also be able to set off the space and become a bright spot, creating a scholarly atmosphere without bringing any pollution.

Choose the appropriate form

There are four types of common custom bookcases:

Independent bookcase: with strong adaptability, it is very suitable for book collectors. In addition, an advantage of the independent bookcase is that it can be used to block space, which is similar to the role of a screen.

Embedded bookcase: it can be designed according to the room type and personal

preferences, which can not only make rational use of space but also enhance the overall visual beauty.

Wall-type bookcase: select a certain wall in the room and stick it to the wall. The occupied space is extremely limited. It is suitable for indoor spaces with a small area. The rich shelves bring great convenience to the home office, and the display function can be maximized only through the upward extension of the space.

Corner bookcase: generally located at the corner of the wall, which makes good use of the corner space. If there is no study, it can be placed in the living room or dining room, which can form an independent leisure space while connecting with other furniture.

Pay attention to depth, floor height, and cabinet height

When customizing bookcases, we should consider several factors such as depth, story height, and cabinet degree.

Bookcases with too deep depth will not only cause space waste but also make it difficult to get books. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the depth of the bookcase at 30-35cm.

The height of the bookcase needs to be between 30-40cm, to ensure that larger books can be placed in it.

The height of the bookcase is set at about 2.1m. If it is too high, it is laborious and inconvenient to fetch books.

In addition, we should seriously consider the bearing capacity of the bookshelf, which mainly depends on the span and thickness of the laminate. The thinnest layer is L 5cm, if its span exceeds 80cm and the book is too heavy, it is easy to bend. If the span reaches 120cm, 2.5cm thick laminate is recommended.

Try to keep the same style

As a part of the home space, the style of the bookcase should be consistent with the overall furniture as far as possible, so that it looks more harmonious and not abrupt. The color should be soft and calm, so when customizing the bookcase, try to avoid jumping and contrasting colors, and choose the same color system or similar colors.

In addition, the modeling design should be as simple as possible, and should not pursue "personalization" excessively. It should be practical and convenient for daily cleaning.

Cabinet door selection depends on the function

The overall cabinet door looks solemn and atmospheric. The glass cabinet door makes the collection of books clear at a glance. Bookcases without cabinet doors are visually transparent and easy to take.

Choose the semi-open storage cabinet, which has a strong storage capacity and is not afraid of dust. The customized form of "half hidden and half exposed" combines storage and display, adjusts the monotony of cabinet shape, and makes the visual level spread orderly.
