BOOK CASES

BOOKCASES

Do you love to read? If you enjoy the feel of holding a book in your hands and the thought of turning the page thrills you every time as you make your way through the latest novel, it’s likely that you have a sizeable collection of books. While bookcases are great for displaying books, they can be used in a variety of spaces for various purposes.

Libraries


Many book enthusiasts collect a significant number of books over the years—books they’re often eager to show off. If you want to display your books, you may want to create a dedicated library. The Hooker brand produces an array of traditional and contemporary bookcases that will give your library the look and feel you want. The Woodlands Etagere is a great choice if your aesthetic is more conventional while the Storia Bookcase is a smart pick if you’re going for a more modern look.

Home Offices & Studies


A library isn’t the only room that may benefit from a bookcase. If your home has an office or study, you may be well-served by putting a bookcase in that space. A bookcase is the ideal place to stow office supplies and display any awards you may have won for your performance on the job. 

If your study or office doubles as a guest bedroom, you’ll want to choose a bookcase that will allow you to keep your most sensitive things out of sight when guests spend the night at your residence. One option you may want to consider is the American Retrospective Grey Wash Bookcase by Jofran.

Living Rooms


Bookcases are versatile pieces of furniture that make attractive, useful additions to most living rooms. You can use a bookcase like the Wellington Right Pier Bookcase in a corner to display your family heirlooms. Alternatively, you may want to use the Console Bookcase by Hekman as an entertainment center and place your widescreen TV on top of the unit. If you have an open floor plan and you’re struggling to define your living room in the space, you can use a bookcase with open shelving like the Bedford Open Shelving bookcase to separate areas without fully blocking the view from one to the other.

Bedrooms


A bedroom is a wonderful location for a bookcase. You can use a bookcase to store clothes or extra blankets in or outside of a closet. Bookcases are also convenient for displaying your jewelry, belt buckle, or tie collection, which can make getting ready for a special occasion or your daily routine less of a chore.

Fairfield Galleries sells a selection of pre-made wooden bookcases that are great for bedrooms, such as the Abby 48” W Divided Bookcase and the 72” Shaker Bookcase, both of which are made by John Thomas Furniture. If you’d prefer a custom wood bookcase, you can order one from our family-owned and operated gallery in Fort Wayne, IN.
