Finding the Best Bookcase for Your Needs

When shopping for bookcases, you should ask yourself: what kind of books will it hold? Novels or textbooks? What room will it be in and where will it be located? It helps to think about its purpose and how it will fit inside your home. You might be better off with a corner bookshelf or a slim bookshelf.

Is a Bookcase Right for You?

If you are looking for somewhere to store your kids' books, choose our fantastic children's bookshelf, or if you need to squeeze some book storage underneath a wall shelf, mirror or piece of artwork, our low bookshelf could be for you.

How to Choose the Perfect Bookcase

It helps to think about the following things to find a bookcase suited to your needs:

• Budget

• Material

• Style and Finishing

• Size and Space

• Reliability and Strength

• Functionality

• Colour

• Choosing a Right Location

Using Your Bookcase

 Whether you have a narrow bookshelf or a nursery bookshelf, you will need to consider the materials it's built from to care for it properly. A metal bookshelf should be cleaned differently from a timber bookshelf, as it can be scrubbed more vigorously than wood, where you should be gentle and go along the grain. For a rattan bookshelf, you can use a microfibre cloth and a toothbrush with a dishwashing detergent solution.

Styles and Colours to Choose From

We have a massive selection of styles and colours in our range, from a high-gloss white bookshelf to a rustic wooden bookshelf. You could choose a grey, white, brown or black bookshelf or a pine, mango, acacia or oak bookshelf. We have chic tree-style bookshelves, wire metal grid options and foldable racks with wheels. There is something to complement every design scheme here at Payday Deals.  

Types of Bookcase

Payday Deals offers many different ways to store and display your books. Maybe you only need one large shelf and could opt for a wall-mounted bookshelf that won't take over the whole room. Check out our floating bookshelf for storage with nice clean lines or for a handful of less chunky items; perhaps a ladder bookshelf will create a light and airy space.  

You can use a free-standing or wall-mounted vertical bookshelf if this fits better with your interior design and space. A rotating bookshelf is free-standing and can hold many books, but it's usually best for smaller novels rather than heavy textbooks. Choose the best book display shelf for you, but do it in style with Payday Deals.

Benefits of Bookcases

The benefits of bookcases include keeping your books like new, displaying your reading credentials and finding the book you need when you need it. Having something you want to read in your line of sight every day will encourage you to read it because it externalises your reading list. No more buying books you never read!

FAQs

How to style a bookcase

Bookcases demand attention because of their size, so you can add several items that fit in with your room's look and feel. You can place figurines, ornaments, sculptures, stylish bookends or small pot plants on your bookshelf. You could also display sentimental items and photographs.  

If you are just using it for books, that's cool-you can categorise them as you'd like, by theme, colour or author. Be careful not to overclutter it and be sure to place the heavier items at the bottom. You should aim for balance and break up the space by laying some books vertically and others horizontally.

Where to put a bookcase in Feng Shui

You could place a bookshelf in the northeast corner of a room, where higher learning and wisdom are associated, or in the west, which is synonymous with creativity. Keep an eye on the room's design because placement at the door or window would be poor Feng Shui. You should keep it clean, well-lit and clutter-free to ensure positive energy radiates from your room.
