Open shelving is multi-functional design element that not only help in organizing your home but also serve as a place to display art and accent pieces. Take a look at some expert tips to find modern open shelving. But first, we need to know the two popular types of open shelving: étagère and bookcase. An étagère is a delicate and more modular bookcase, featuring an open back and usually glass shelves. A standard bookcase is usually for function, an étagère is more about form. Have a look at Barclay Butera Newport Beachcomber Raffia Etagere below. Size Size is one of the most important factors to consider when buying modern open shelving as it determines the overall function and look of your space. Here’s what to consider: Height: Tall bookcases make for a more dramatic appearance while shorter ones are more functional because of the usable top surface area and can lighten up a room. This way you can even use them as a media cabinet, buffet, or workspace. Have a look at Sligh Bel Aire Beverly Palms Deck below. Width:  Narrow bookcases allow you to pair two or three together, and the flexibility to work the items in different spaces. If you buy a tall bookcase, getting multiple narrow units rather than a single large one can help you add or subtract storage space as needed. But if you get a shorter unit, getting something wide can make it look more substantial. Take a look at this beautiful Lexington Shadow Play Windsor Open Bookcase. Displaying Space:  Imagine buying open shelving units for your apartment and they end up not fitting the way that you want it to be. The solution for this is to look for shelves that are adjustable. For fixed shelving, verify the height and space you need before making the purchase. Look at this wonderful Lexington Carrera Rossa Bookcase. Material Etageres come in a variety of materials and the most common ones are made of: Wood: Wooden Etageres look traditional and have a long-lasting frame that can withstand the substantial weight. Lexington Macarthur Park Royce Bunching Bookcase below, is a perfect example of a beautiful wooden etagere. Metal: Metal ones offer sturdy storage and make a perfect choice if you wish to get a streamlined and contemporary look. Caracole Edge Occasional Vector Etagere is a perfect example of metal etagere. Bonus Tips While buying the best modern open shelving unit for your space, after deciding upon the style, size, and material, you also need to take into account some other factors: Your Space: Always measure the area where you intend to place it as it can help you narrow down your selection options. Look at this amazing Macarthur Park Thurston Bunching Bookcase by Lexington Furniture. How you Intent to Use it: Before you get this new furniture piece, plan about how you wish to use your open shelving unit. If you are an avid reader and love collecting novels and books, get sturdier shelving so that it can withstand the weight of all your collection. If it is meant for display, you can focus on the form. Summary: Visit Grayson Luxury to explore the most amazing collection of luxury Italian furniture and other luxurious home décor accessories.

A home library can be an amazing escape after a hectic day. It can combine both learning and relaxation. Here are some ideas to create an incredible home library where you can easily snuggle up and escape into the world of imagination. Furniture that Offers both Style and Function Your favorite set of books in your modern home library deserves to be placed on beautiful pedestals. For a home-library where storage is important with aesthetics, look for some sculptural shelving units in artistic shapes. Wise Selection of the Bookcases and Standing Shelves A tall bookcase, for instance, one that is 36 inches wide can hold twice as many books than a short bookcase with the same width, that too without taking up any more floor space. Also, ensure that your home library shelving is not too messy. Go for library furniture that allows ample air circulation to avoid your books to get affected by fungus due to over-humidity. Comfortable Seating For comfortable and relaxed seating, the table and chair set can be accentuated with throws that will enable you to snuggle with your book on a cool night. Comfortable armchairs with a plush seating help creating an enormously cozy library corner, where you can lounge at ease while you read.  Ample Lighting  Lighting is an important aspect to consider in the library since it involves a lot of reading. In the day-time, natural light will suffice. During the night, there is a need for a table or floor lamp, overhead ambient lights and other light fixtures in the library. Get Decorative Art Pieces Your home library should be visually pleasing too, and you can decorate it with some literary arts. Display of artwork, collections, like bookends of hanging arts like frames makes a pretty accent to disguise any guilty-pleasure thriller. Summary: Set up a captivating and organized home-library with these ideas in mind.
