An original bookcase can be a wonderful decoration of any interior. Not only will you impress your guests, but it will also let you save lots of space to store a number of small bits and pieces.
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

Remodelista

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

Etsy

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

Apartment Therapy

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

Sinclair Smith Co.

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!

Sinclair Smith Co.

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

Small Town Craft Fair

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

Design Sponge

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

Design Sponge

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

Ikea Hackers

Because you never get enough book space!
