If I had a house of unlimited space, I’d build a set of incredible bookshelves, floor to ceiling, and then invest in a ton of fun, clever, and unique bookshelves to fill other rooms. I do not, unfortunately, have unlimited space, and the reality is that while I probably own more books than the average person, I also get rid of books regularly and don’t need to have a ton of shelf space. That doesn’t mean I do not love dreaming this dream and drooling over the incredible array of bookshelves that populate that fantasy.
Whether you’re in the market for a bookshelf refresh or like to also entertain what your ideal books-at-home situation would look like, here is collection of incredible bookshelves. Some of these will be the kind you attach to a wall, while others will be stand alone. There are bookshelves here “for kids” that, of course, people of any age can put into their home because why limit fun?
Let’s take a look at these unique bookshelves and maybe even splurge on ourselves a bit. I’ve not included some of the other awesome bookshelves out there, including the book ropes and swings or the most expensive bookshelves in the world. Bookshelves included come in a range of prices.
