Traditional Bookcases with Hand Carved Details

Traditional bookcases offer great versatility. Perfect for a home library or office, they also work well in a living room, dining room or even in a spacious bedroom. If yours is a very traditional, ornate style, StylePath has lots of detailed bookcases that combine beauty and functionality.

The Heirloom Single Open Bookcase is one of those ornately hand-carved pieces that is immediately associated with luxury and elegance. It comes in several colors and finishes, but this antiqued ivory is our favorite. Two of them would be beautiful in a formal dining room, placed on either side of a large window.

Friday Finds: Cube Bookcases

Continuing the "cozy reading" theme from last week, Friday Finds this week was inspired by the boxes of unpacked books in Susi's attic.  She found these three modern "cube" bookcases that would be great for books, objects or even vinyl records.  Simple design would blend seemlessly into most decor.  
 

This bookcase is currently on sale with a savings of over $300.  Got to love a sale. low: $700 (on sale)

Love the height (88in.) on this one.  Think of all the books you could put in it and still have a small footprint in the room. med: $2000 

 

Gorgeous classic from Design Within Reach first designed in 1997.  An investment piece you'd never outgrow. high: $3200

Sleek Bookshelves Offer Beauty and Function

Unfortunately, many of us are limited on space in our homes, so we have to rely on one room for several functions. For example, the living room is often the center of many activities such as watching television, visiting with family and friends, playing games, studying and reading. Purchasing furnishings based on the activities performed in a room is a smart move.

Bookcases can be a great addition to your actively used living room as they are offer support for many of the activities you’ll perform there. You’ll have easy access to many of your frequently used items such as books, board games and DVDs. Try alternating these items on shelves with collectibles or framed pictures to balance function with beauty.
