Bookcases and Shelving That Bring Order and Calm

A well chosen bookcase brings order to a room while displaying the pieces you love. Paperbacks and photo frames, trailing greenery and treasured ceramics all find a considered home, turning a bare wall into a quietly composed focal point.

Our bookcases and shelving span open shelves, cube storage and tall bookshelves, giving homes storage that feels curated rather than cluttered. Whether for a study, living area or hallway nook, each lends a room structure and calm with a luxury feel at an easy price. Browse the full living room furniture range to plan the whole space.

Choosing the Right Bookcase for Your Space

Measure before you choose. Standard bookcases run 80 to 120cm wide, with tall units reaching 180 to 200cm high and depths of 25 to 35cm, so a slim tower suits compact rooms better than a wide low unit. Adjustable shelves let you reconfigure spacing for oversized books or objects, while fixed shelves offer a cleaner, more uniform look. Consider how the finish sits alongside your furniture and how much weight each shelf carries.

• Solid timber for warmth and durability
• Engineered wood with a painted or laminate finish for a lighter budget
• Powder coated steel frames for an industrial feel
• Timber and metal combinations for a contemporary look

Styles to Suit Your Space

Open backed shelving suits open plan living and keeps a space airy, closed back bookcases anchor a wall for a formal study, and cube units create a curated gallery grid. Pair yours with coffee tables and layer in texture with rugs and soft cushions and throws.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep should a bookcase be?

Most bookcases are 25 to 35cm deep, which comfortably holds standard books. For larger art books or baskets, look for a deeper unit around 35cm.

Do I need to secure my bookcase to the wall?

Tall bookcases should be anchored to the wall using the supplied fittings, especially in homes with children or pets, to prevent tipping.

How much weight can each shelf hold?

This varies by construction, but solid timber and reinforced shelves carry more than thin laminate. Spread heavier items evenly rather than in one spot.

What is the difference between fixed and adjustable shelves?

Adjustable shelves let you change spacing for tall books and objects, while fixed shelves give a cleaner, more uniform appearance.
