We love to read! Okay, maybe more like she loves to read and I enjoy reading, not as vigorous a reader, but I still enjoy reading! So bookshelves are a compulsory fixture in our house! If you looked at the plan in the earlier post, you would notice that the plan for the first bedroom is actually a study room. I would love the room to resemble a nice cosy library!
Our HDB flat doesn't have high ceilings, so the one above is probably out, but you get the idea... Nice cosy library-like work area, with probably a sofa or armchair on one end where we can just spend some quality time reading away... Just like the one below
I don't really fancy the colonial style kind of design, but this one is tastefully done up and not too "over".
I love the clean and simple design of this bookshelves and study table, looks so nice and comfy! I wouldn't mind working here for long hours :) Simple colour scheme of black white and grey and the clean and and simple design of the table makes it look so modern and zen. Don't really like those cornices, too tacky! I think cornices are just outdated! Avoid them unless you're able to make it blend really well with your overall design.
The haphazard design of this shelves just make them look so fun and interesting! Nice to have, but important to not fill them all up with simply books! Have accessories in random shelves to make it look really fun.
I really love this bookshelves!! Doesn't need to be haphazard to be fun and creative! This had got to be my favourite full height bookshelf!
This is probably not very feasible, but I'm pretty amazed by the creativity of this one! Its a bookshelf in a stairway! cool!
Bookshelves need not be lined along the walls! They can be on the ceiling as well! Not sure how you're gonna get your books though.. Interesting idea nonetheless..
When I saw this, the engineer in me couldn't help but wonder what numbers and symbols I can put in this equation... Well, this is not an equation theoretically, just an expression (no equal sign)... Ok, the engineer in me digress...
This is damn gimmicky, not really a bookshelf, but those are actually real books! go google it if you're interested to make one for yourself! It's pretty simple actually (but plain gimmicky)
This bookshelf is pretty cool, but not very practical I guess... However, if you have damn a lot of space at home (and a lot of money to spare), quite interesting to have a bookshelf like that!
Which is your favourite?? Or do you have something else even better, more interesting or just a good ol' bookshelf that is just gorgeous! Do share with us!! leave your comments perhaps "Books(helves) Paradise Part 2" will be on the way!
