39 Novel Ideas For Unique Bookshelves and Home Libraries Edit

Digg this TrendStumble this TrendShare this TrendEmailthis TrendEmbed This TrendShare This Trend





Bookshelves are as varied in design as the books they house; some are colorful and adventurous, while others have an air of romance. While some people love antique furniture, so there are people who enjoy old books with a history. Others love the feel of crisp new novel, just as some people enjoy modern furniture.

One of our Trend Hunters posed an interesting question this week: with eBook readers becoming mainstream, what will happen to the bookshelf industry? Judging by the designs in this cluster, I’d say these funky furnishings still have a few good years left in homes, if only for storing ‘antique’ paper books, or as a display case for (digital) photo frames and fun knickknacks.
