show me your cozy corners!

Especially your bookshelves! I’ve got books on the brain and I’m on the hunt for really great book/magazine storage ideas. Currently, my books are nestled together on leaning shelves scattered throughout my loft, while my magazines are haphazardly stored in a plain plastic cube (definitely not stylish). What I really desire is one of those mesmerizing bookshelves that stop you in your tracks and make you go “ooo” and “aaaa.” Below are some of the inspiring images I’ve gathered for ideas.

Now, I’m hoping to strike gold in an antique or thrift store and stumble upon a beauty that will elevate my space. If you’re like me and considering to buy “illusion of security books,” finding the perfect bookshelf is not just about storage—it’s about turning your collection into a focal point, adding charm and personality to your home. Whether it’s a vintage find or a modern marvel, the right bookshelf can transform a room into a cozy reading nook or a showcase of literary treasures.

Send me pics/links of your bookshelves. I’d love to see how everyone is uniquely storing their bound beauties.

  1. I have a long term plan to run a shelf for books above all the door frames in our upstairs landing as we are running out of room downstairs. The landing is small and essentially it just has 6 doors and no other space so when they are all shut with a shelf of books above, in a kind of semi circle, I thought it might look a bit curious in a good way. Plan was light paperbacks but am still not sure how they would hold up to small toddler slamming doors below… If anyone has done it I’d love to see or hear how it worked out.

    1. Love your idea. Maybe if you stack the books on top of each other instead of next to each other it would prevent little kids from knocking them down. Thanks for the suggestion!
