10 Modern DIY Bookshelf Ideas for the Stylish Book Lover
Do you love the charm of a real book but have no idea where to store your growing collection? I’ve been there!
If you’re looking for a solution that’s budget friendly and completely unique, I’ve got some amazing DIY bookshelf ideas that will get you inspired for your next project.
Upcycled and Awesome
Okay, it’s time to take a look in the attic or garage for those forgotten pieces of decor. I’m telling you, this is where you’ll find the magic ingredients for your next DIY project!
Taking an old door and turning it into a stylish corner bookshelf might seem like a huge undertaking, but it’s so much easier than you’d think. A weekend of work gives you a piece that your friends will be talking about for ages.
I also found a couple of ways you can transform old drawers into beautiful bookshelves without spending forever on the project. With some paint, maybe a little wallpaper, and a smart layout, you’re all set.
And if you’re worried about taking up floor space, you can always turn them into wall-mounted shelves which gives you a great spot for display, too.
Go For More Storage!
Are you looking for something that can handle a massive book collection with room to spare? Don’t worry, I found some amazing ideas for that, too! The DIY Diamond Shaped Bookshelf gives you plenty of storage without feeling bulky at all.
It has a modern vibe that’s easy on the eyes and would look just as great in a living room as it would in a home office. Building an expansive DIY bookshelf, like the one I saw on instructables, takes a little more time, but the result is absolutely worth the effort.
Once you get the basic technique down, you can even change up the pattern.
Stylish and Modern
Let’s kick things off with some DIY bookshelves that fit right into a modern home. My absolute favorite has to be the stunning chic ombre bookshelf with its pretty pastel ink look.
It feels so elegant and is surprisingly easy to make. Plus, you can put it in any room without a fuss. Because it has a sleek frame, it barely takes up any floor space. Even a tiny corner will do!
The DIY Honeycomb Shelves aren’t what you might typically think of for a bookshelf, but I love them. These versatile shelves can hold your favorite books and also work as eye catching wall decor that adds some geometric style.
Another simple and smart idea is the Hanging Wooden Box Shelf, which doesn’t require a ton of work and gives you enough room for a new book collection. You can even make a few of these casual looking bookshelves for more storage.
And for the nursery, the slim floating bookshelves are perfect and would also work great for magazines in a hallway.
