Design Shuffle Guest Post: Stylish Bookcases


Hi, I’m Joanna, a writer for Design Shuffle, an online portal featuring the beautiful work of interior designers from around the world. My daily work consists of gathering the most gorgeous spaces on the web and sharing them with readers of blogs such as Classic Chic Home.

There is something about bookcases filled with vast collections of books and found objects that we just love. It gives the appearance of a well-read life. We especially covet floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with colorful hues.

Take a look at some of our favorites and get inspired with some decorating ideas of your own. Thanks for letting me share!

Looking for large space living room design ideas? Here's one just for you. A curtained bookcase gives this classic space an alternate look should the occasion arise. The vibrant green offers the soft palette a pop of color.

A bookcase with built-in space for a desk does double duty in this library/sitting area. The bookcase is unusual in that it houses found objects and magazines in matching white cases in lieu of a collection of books.
