There is nothing like the feeling of curling up with a good book and holding knowledge in your hands. While the world pulls more to technology, home libraries may seem like a waste of money, but having a durable space to store your favorite volumes is a dream for some homeowners. Creating functional home libraries is easier when you include built-in bookcases or shelving. Whether you want your library to be elegant, vintage, or bold, there are storage options for you.
Customization For Your Collection
Built-ins can be customized to each homeowner’s preference before and after they are installed. Built-ins from Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry are made of durable wood but can be customized to multiple different colors using stain or paint. Choosing a unique color for your library can make it feel cozy and personalized.
Varied heights of shelving or the bookcases themselves are just another easy way to make your home library stand out. Creating a custom-designed library with the help of RCC ensures that your books and knick-knacks look their best. Different paperbacks, hardbacks, or book series will come in various sizes, so customize your selves to keep everything pristine.
Adjustable sections of shelves that can be removed are another way to customize your home library. Adjustable shelves are a great way to change up the space without doing a complete remodel.
A Design That’s Multi-Functional
Built-in shelving can be used for more than just book storage. These built-ins can be created into reading nooks or study desks to be used inside the library. Creating a dynamic space that caters to all your needs is a way to create the perfect home libraries.
The concept of built-ins can be implemented in multiple places throughout your home. If you don’t have enough space to create a library, having built-in bookcases in an office or living room will still allow you to display your favorite volumes.
Maximizing Verticle Space For Dramatic Effect
Libraries in movies or books seem to stretch to the heavens. Built-in bookcases can maximize the vertical height of your home and make the room feel taller. Bookcases that go all the way to the ceiling will create the appearance of a bigger space and give you more areas to decorate or store books.
Using all available wall space will also keep the floor clear. Keeping items off the floor limits clutter that can cause the space to appear claustrophobic. Put shelves or built-ins around doorways, windows, and more.
No Need To Remove Windows
Wall-to-wall bookshelves don’t mean you have to sacrifice natural light or windows in your home library. Built-in shelving can go around windows so that the sunlight can stream into your cozy reading space. Natural light provides many benefits for your mood as well as for the look of your space. Building shelving around windows will allow more natural light to reflect around the room and create the illusion of a bigger room.
Letting in natural light helps a space to feel more inviting. Sunlight has been shown to boost our moods, so letting in the sun’s rays while reading will help you get the most out of home libraries. Building shelves around windows helps you to store more books while helping to keep the room open.
A Feature To Be Enjoyed For Generations
Built-in cabinets, shelving, and bookcases are secured to the wall and built into the home. This means that they will stay in the house throughout multiple generations. Installing built-in bookcases can be an investment that keeps on giving for years.
Rasmussen Custom Cabinetry only uses the most durable wood for built-in options. Using durable and well-crafted materials will increase the lifespan of your built-in bookcases. Whether you plan to sell your home in the future or pass it down to your family, your home library will be able to be enjoyed by many.
