If you are into DIY and you love books, you have come to the right place. Come take a look at what we have got for you!
#1 Modular bookcases
All you need in this case is a few single modules and office clips. Another bonus is that it is completely up to you what it finally will look like.
#2 A ladder bookcase
The final things looks spectacular. Personally, I would love to have it in my living room.
#3 A ladder stand
A foldable ladder also has got some bookcase potential. Unfold it in a desired spot, add wooden shelves and that's it!
#4 An invisible bookshelf
If you really want to impress your guests, that's the one you have been looking for. It's all about a few hinges that in the end are hidden behind the books.
#5 Some colorful accents
If you prefer some unusual solutions, you are going to like this one. Each bookshelf can be covered with some wrapping paper or wallpaper.
All of a sudden your room will be so colorful.
#6 A TV set with a bonus
This original combination is the answer to the question whether watching TV really kills reading books. Resourceful and so practical!
#7 An old drawer
All you need to do is to cover the bottom of an old drawer and fix it to the wall. And an amazing bookcase is ready to store!
#8 A pipe-shelf? Why not!
Of course thanks to our plumbers there are so many possible combinations that this one here is just a tip of the iceberg.
#9 A mobile bookcase
Another design which in fact is really easy to make. As long as you have 2 wooden shelves, 4 wheels and 2 wire mesh baskets
#10 Rope as an essential building material
This is another proof that you don’t really need much to create something original and good-looking. In this case that means white wooden boards and a thick rope.
#11 2 in 1: a table and a bookcase
This is what I like the most. One object with two functions. What is more, to make it you only need to find an old wooden cable spool. A perfect match!
#12 Wine crates
Just like in the case of old drawers, you only have to decorate the bottom and fix it to the wall.
#13 A file divider turned into a shelf
In just a moment an old file divider was given a new life.
#14 A fabric can work just as well
Using a curtain rail and some nice fabric you can make a really interesting object that will soon be the pride of your apartment.
#15 A chest of drawers with extra stashes
Because you never get enough book space!
#16 Old benches
Put one bench on another and an original bookshelf is ready!
#17 The endless options of plywood
Once again you can make use of your resourcefulness and create something exceptional.
