12 rooms with stylish built-in bookshelves

By: Styleathome.com

Thinking about installing custom bookshelves or not sure what to do with the ones you already have? Here are 12 of our favourite rooms with stylish built-in bookshelves to help inspire a home update.

Go for built-in shelving in a deep colour and contrasting accents for a stylish yet functional accent wall.

Rich, dark wood and crown moulding give these built-ins an elegant look.

Opt for a cubed design for a more playful way of displaying your books and knickknacks.

Hide your TV in plain sight by placing it within a built-in bookshelf that's not front and centre but in the corner of the room.

Floor-to-ceiling white stone veneers make these bookshelves stand out in an artsy way.

Give your space personality by adding one-of-a-kind accents like this vintage-looking mirror to your built-in.

Line your bookshelves with bright patterned wallpaper for an easy boost of colour.

Flank your fireplace with a matching pair of built-ins for a balanced and stylish look.

Sprinkle your shelves with decorative vases and pictures for a well-styled look.

Give your built-in a curated feel with asymmetrical shelving and a healthy mix of books and decorations.

Prefer a more classic look? Go for a built-in with an elegant cherry finish and crown moulding. Don't forget to add a chaise for reading breaks.

The sky is the limit when it comes to a built-in's styling potential. Frame your living room with an alter of books for a library-inspired look.
