Reading is the most important source of knowledge we have, and it's also the cheapest! We only really understood this when we came out to work.


It slowly turned from reading novels to reading books, and then to enjoy buying books to read back. Many people especially enjoy the smell of new books, and many people like to take a book and sit by the window to read it in the morning.


The problem comes when there are more and more books, and if we rent a house without bookshelves, it can be very cluttered. This is when we can start to get ourselves bookshelves.


A good bookshelf will not only solve the problem of arranging books but also showcase your taste.


A bookshelf is a common piece of study furniture and we all want the perfect bookshelf when decorating, not only to be beautiful and sturdy but also to have the advantage of being environmentally friendly and durable. A practical bookshelf can greatly increase our book space, not only that but also play a role in decorating the study, providing an elegant and beautiful environment for our work and study.


There are also many factors to consider when choosing a bookshelf. We arrange our bookshelves to represent our personality and decorating sensibilities, while decorating them plays an important role in planning the space, much like how a large handbag and a pair of shoes give the finishing touch to an outfit. If our décor is traditional, with dark woods and fitted fabrics, then we will want to choose items with a classic feel for our bookshelves, such as brass bookends, leather books, oriental vases, or bronze sculptures. Symmetry can also play an important role, so bear this in mind when placing decorative accents on bookshelves. Similarly, items made of wood, stone, and natural materials will also be placed in the room to give us a more casual atmosphere - think bohemian or beach chic. We can choose items such as woven baskets, clay ceramic vases or terracotta pottery, driftwood, or earthy pottery, and keep the arrangement loose and asymmetrical.


Shelf design in terms of shape can generally be divided into three types of design: irregular design, proportional design, and symmetrical design.


To begin with, the irregular design, as the name suggests, the main body of this kind of bookshelf is irregular and asymmetrical, which is generally reflected in the height of the shelves, or the width and the different designs of the panels. According to this concept, there is still a great demand for bookshelves in the market, and young people are now more fond of fashionable and individual bookshelves. Irregularly designed bookshelves have no special requirements for the size of the space, large bookshelves look avant-garde, while small ones are more flexible.


Proportional design is also a bookshelf design concept, this kind of bookshelf is usually a word type, and the shape is very simple, proportional design of bookshelves usually look more atmospheric, stable, and very suitable for use in the space is a relatively large and open environment, to create a very unique cultural taste of the owner.
