Build your own Library

As Cicero once said, a home without books, is a body without soul… and it’s true. Despite the incalculable trove of information at our fingertips thanks to the internet, or the countless hours of entertainment on our screen. There’s something decidedly real about a book, something comforting… a token of a memory.

It’s no secret that filling the home with books is vital for the development of children, but it’s also so important for our own well-being. In fact due to Covid-19 readership went up by over 35%. This shows that when we get the chance, we truly are a nation of book lovers!

It’s not quite as simple as having a box filled with books. These hidden storage methods lock away the books that teach and transport us. They deserve a special place in the home, a miniature library, an homage to our personality, interests and dreams.

Space is an important factor to consider, and user friendly accessibility. Low bookcases are fantastic for creating a welcoming environment for young readers to curate their own collection.

They're also great for allowing them to explore at their Leisure. However they’re also great for when space is not a luxury, and that book collection is just too vast to ignore.

A big boon to be had from incorporating traditional bookcases into the home is that they double up as display cases, interspersed with small plants and the odd ornament, they can truly complement your literary trove.

Bookcases are also fantastic for really making the most out of negative space, as so often the most under-utilised location in the home is the wall space above waist height. Bookcases take back the wasted square footage by allowing you to have storage as high as your ceilings allow.

Books Teach, and Transport us...

Whether it’s highlighted grains, reclaimed wood, a Hygge retreat or industrial library. The most important thing is to ensure your new bookcase really hits the beat of your homes rhythm. Especially as our reading areas are usually intended to be our most peaceful zones in the house.

So it’s really got to match your vibe, and come with a suitable reading chair, like the Havana rattan wingback.

So take a moment and think about the needs of your collection, and remember, books en masse, have a great mass. So by going for our solid hardwood collections you can be sure that even fully stocked, your library is in safe hands.

However, if you’re looking for somewhere to showcase only a few of your ultimate reads. Alongside some personality, we also have some fantastic alternatives available.

So get your library ready, choose a display unit and book a delivery with us.
