Shelving Units & Bookcases

For a small room, choose tall, narrow shelving units, ladder shelves or corner shelves to make use of vertical space without taking up too much floor area. Cube storage can also work well because it keeps items tidy and can be used with fabric boxes or baskets.

Measure the width, height and depth of the space where the bookcase will go, leaving room for skirting boards, doors and nearby furniture. Think about what you will store too: large hardbacks, storage boxes and decorative items may need deeper or adjustable shelves.

Open shelves are ideal for displaying books, plants, framed photos and decorative pieces, while keeping everyday items easy to reach. If you want a cleaner look, mix open shelving with baskets or cube inserts to hide smaller clutter.

Tall or narrow shelving units and bookcases should usually be secured to the wall with suitable fixings, especially in homes with children or pets. Always follow the product instructions and use fixings appropriate for your wall type.
