Bookshelves

Q: Do bookshelves need to be anchored down?

Yes, bookshelves should always be anchored down no matter how sturdy they may seem. Curious kids or playful pets can climb on the shelves and topple the bookcase, which can cause injury. Choosing the type of anchoring equipment will depend on the type of bookshelf and what it’s made from.

Q: What materials are bookshelves made from?

One of the best things about bookshelves is how variable they are. Bookshelves can be made from a wide range of materials including wood, metal, glass, plywood, hardboard and even steel.

Whether you’re a bookworm or not, bookshelves add an elegant touch and focal point to any house. Bookshelves can do more than just house books and magazines, with the storage shelves making them a great tool for displaying photo frames, decorations and even plants. If you’re searching for the best premium bookshelves in Australia, look no further than ArchiPro.

Types of bookshelves

Wood bookshelves

Nothing screams classic more than wood bookshelves. There’s a reason why they’re so popular in Australia. Apart from being striking and elegant, wood bookshelves are incredibly durable and strong. A great, luxurious choice are oak bookshelves.

Industrial bookshelves

Industrial bookshelves come in all varieties, making them a great choice for those who want a lot of options. From white bookshelves to black bookshelves, small bookshelves and everything in between, they add a modern touch to any room.

Floating bookshelves

If you’re low on floor space but have plenty of wall to spare, floating bookshelves are a fun and eye-catching option.

Corner bookshelves

As the name suggests, corner bookshelves place in corners of a room. They can be floating or standing on the floor, wooden or industrial.

Narrow bookshelves

Narrow bookshelves provide a space-efficient storage solution, ideal for displaying books and decorative items in tight or limited areas.

The advantages of high-quality bookshelves

The last thing you want is a bookshelf that doesn’t hold all the books and anything else you need it to hold. Collapsing shelves can be annoying and even dangerous, so reduce the risk of breakage by choosing high-quality bookshelves from reputable suppliers. Not only will they be made of higher quality materials but they will also more likely have subtle designer features that can enhance a space.

How to choose bookshelves that are right for you

With such a wide range of bookshelves available, how do you know which one is right for you? Choosing the right size bookshelf with the materials you need will depend on how much you need it to hold, how many books you have, and how well it’ll match the existing home decor or shelves you already have. You’ll also want it to complement the existing decor in your room so be sure to take this into consideration too before making your purchase. For example, utilising timber bookshelves adds a touch of warmth and natural elegance to your living space, while rotating bookshelves offer both practicality and a unique visual element, allowing easy access to your books and enhancing the dynamic feel of the room.

What size should a bookshelf be?

There’s no right or wrong size for a bookshelf, as this will depend on how many books you like to display at once. You’ll also need to keep in mind the size of the room or wall you’re placing the bookshelf on. For ease of shelf access, bookshelves are generally no higher than 2m. If you have kids, it’s a good idea to go smaller.
