How to organize your books in your living room
Una casa sin libros es una casa vacía. La lectura nos ayuda a transportarnos a otros lugares, un imaginar, un vivir otras vidas. Nos ayudan a ser un poquito más felices. Y aunque los libros electrónicos forman parte de nuestras vidas, la realidad es que los libros en papel son incomparables: su olor, su textura y el espacio que ocupan. Como es el único problema de los libros tradicionales, nosotros queremos ayudarlo a solucionarlo proponiéndole formas diferentes de organizar sus libros en el salón. Las clásicas estanterías son una opción, ¡pero hay mucho más! Ya no tienes excusas para que cada vez sean más y más los libros que sumes a tu hogar ...
Use a wall to display all your books
Your home should be a reflection of yourself, your hobbies, your passions. Why? How and where better than in the classroom?
Collect the classics or the oldest books in your collection in a mini-van so they can see at the same time that they are protected from dust or more direct light. Another good option is that books with striking covers are placed on shelves for pictures that hold some of the weight, like an art exhibition is about.
Separate everything with shelves for smaller pictures in the books you are reading at that moment, for example. This way you can classify the different types of reading that you have at your disposal depending on the type of furniture / display. Had it occurred to you?
Order them (and keep them) in storage boxes for books
Maybe you want to have your books in the room but not look so much. Or store and order much of them in a more "stored" and less exposed (ideal when you have children at home who touch everything).
If you bet on the storage boxes for books you will see that they take advantage of the space very well, they give uniformity to the room and they allow you to have your books at your fingertips.
In addition, thanks to the boxes you can categorize them in many different ways: by theme, by author, even by owner! We have labeled the boxes spinning cloth in the form of letters, do not you think it's a great idea?
Give a storyline to your bookshelves
Surely many of you are reading this article while you think: "Yes, what shelf I already have, but I lack the order!". Well, that has only one solution: get down to work until everything is perfect.
Think you have different options to get the result of order and harmony between your books: grouped by colors, by theme, by size, alternate vertical rows and horizontal stacks and leave empty spaces to place figures or ornaments ... Whatever you want!
A detail: if you have a shelf of low or medium height like this, leave space above so you can continue expressing your style, but in this case through decoration.
We love to see our customers get creative with our products. Go for it! But please note that altering or modifying IKEA products so they can no longer be re-sold or used for their original purpose, means the IKEA commercial guarantees and your right to return the products will be lost.
