Whether you are moving into a new home or just remodeling, bookshelves are a great way
to add both storage space and decorative flair. Bookcases are an excellent way to display
not only your book collection, but your pictures and decorative items like vases.
Before you purchase your bookcase there are some things you need to think about.
The first step in determining the right bookcase for your home is to choose the right location.
This will help you decide what type of case will best suit your room. Make sure you measure
not only for height and width, but also measure the maximum depth you have to work with. You
do not want your bookcase to stick out too far and block the flow of traffic in your
room.
ATG Stores.com has a wide variety of bookcases to fit your space, each with unique features.
Available in a variety of heights and widths, standard bookcases sit flat against the wall
and usually have adjustable shelves deep enough to hold standard-depth books. In addition
to being flush against a wall, these units may also be placed back to back and used as
room dividers, a nice way to divide up space without putting in a new wall.
Corner units are a great way to utilize space in a room. They are usually triangular in
structure with rounded shelves, but some are also simply two rectangular units joined in
the corner. While they may not hold as many books as a regular shelf, they are great for
presenting your books, mementos and collectibles.
Wall units will give a custom built-in look and are great way to give a library like feel
to your office. While these units may have components that
can also stand alone, a large area will be needed to put together the entire unit.
Originating in Great Britain, the barrister bookcase is a traditional shelving unit that
is distinguished by clear glass doors that easily flip up and slide back out of sight
when access is needed. From the intricate detailing of a traditional
bookcase to the sleek simplicity of the modern bookcase; ATG Stores.com offers hundreds of
bookcases in a wide variety of designs and materials. And with careful selection, you'll
find the perfect bookcase for your home.
