Installing custom bookshelves to your room is a great way to optimize space, show your book collection, and have something personalized for the sake of decor; that's the difference between mass-produced shelving units that can't optimize wall space. You can now really install shelves perfectly in the corners, under windows, or along small walls, taking every inch in the room to optimum perfection.

 

Moreover, many custom shelves can be designed with different heights, which makes it easy for the users to change at will the distance between shelves for accommodating varying sizes of items or changing over time the existing layout of the room. Finally, it can be designed to house specific items, such as books, decorative pieces, electronics, or even oddly shaped objects. This makes it easier to store and organize things without having to worry about finding just the right size shelf from a store. Standard shelves are typically 10-12 inches deep, but depending on your needs, you may need deeper shelves for books or larger items.

 

Material You should also consider such factors as the weight of your books, the style of the room in general, and your budget. Common materials include wood, metal, glass, and acrylic. Design Consider one that will work well for both your design and weight needs. Choose a material that complements the room's style. Wood is versatile and can work with nearly any decor, whereas metal or glass may suit a modern or industrial look better.
