How to integrate a bookcase in the living room

El living room is a leisure area where we hang out with our family and friends. That is why entertainment is usually concentrated in it. It is usual that we have a reading corner or a bookstore in the living room, because it is a key piece to give a cozy touch to everything and also to store our favorite books. So if you still don't have a library in your living room, we give you some ideas to integrate it.

We are going to tell you how integrate a bookcase in the living room, an idea that is ideal for this area, since on many occasions we use it as a reading area. There are many types of bookcases and ways to add them to the living room, so you can draw some inspirations.

Why have a library in the living room

The living room is undoubtedly the most suitable place to have a bookstore. If we had more leisure spaces at home we could create a great reading corner, but it is not always possible, so the living room is usually used for this purpose. Books have been largely replaced by e-books but there are still those who enjoy reading on paper. Also, if you like to read, surely you will want to have your favorite books in this format. That is why it is perfect to have a library in the living room that can be used to put books and decorate with some other pieces.

A furniture for books and tv

If our living room is not particularly large, we will have to save space and think carefully about the furniture we buy. When adding the library we can do it in the same furniture that is used for television. These furniture usually have enough storage to store other things, so we can buy one that is large and has space for everything. So we will have a two in one that we will put in an area next to the wall.

Bookcase in classic style

El classic style is always a hit, as it tends to adapt to all types of spaces and environments. If you want the bookcase to be an element that will last for years, bet on wood. A bookcase with a simple design, with shelves that are functional where you can put the books and you will have a piece of furniture for a lifetime. Without a doubt this idea is something simple, since they have also added them to the back walls.

Closed cabinet with storage

On many occasions we prefer that the things we have not be seen so much, or we prefer have it all in a closed cabinet because it avoids dust. In open bookstores we have the big problem that we have to clean from time to time to avoid this accumulation of dust. In this type of furniture that does not happen and we will have our books well stored for use. In addition, they tend to be very beautiful. In this case it is also a television and storage unit with drawers.

Built-in wall cabinet

These are the bookstores that we like the most, perfect for those who have many books and enjoy reading them. In these built-in bookcases save us having a piece of furniture that leaves unused spaces. They usually go up to the ceiling and from wall to wall. This bookcase is also white, so it blends in perfectly with the environment. When adding the books to the shelves, we must make a good distribution. As we can see here, not all shelves have books. In some there are boxes, in other boxes or plants. Saturation should be avoided and also perfect symmetry.

Bookcase in dark tones

If you want your library to stand out in the living room, you can paint it in strong tones. It must be said that in this case they have done it because it is a living room with large windows and a dose of natural light. But if your living room is small it is always better to use white. This furniture in strong tones is very sophisticated and makes the books stand out more.

Bookcase under the stairs

This idea seems really original to us. In addition, it is a great inspiration to take advantage of the hole that is always under the stairs and that sometimes is not used. In this case they have created stairs under which the shelves are. Thus we will have a very original library that takes advantage of every meter.

Create a reading corner

If your living room is large, you will surely have space to add your library and create a great reading corner with her. It is a great idea for those who enjoy this hobby. You simply have to buy a good individual sofa and a lamp to be able to read also at night.

Original shelf

In this case we see how the shelf is an almost artistic element. In a modern living room they have added a bookcase made of wood but in the shape of a tree. Without a doubt one of our favorites.
