    An original bookcase can be a wonderful decoration of any interior. Not only will you impress your guests, but it will also let you save lots of space to store a number of small bits and pieces.

    If you are into DIY and you love books, you have come to the right place. Come take a look at what we have got for you!

    #1 Modular bookcases

    All you need in this case is a few single modules and office clips. Another bonus is that it is completely up to you what it finally will look like.

    #2 A ladder bookcase

    The final things looks spectacular. Personally, I would love to have it in my living room.

    #3 A ladder stand

    A foldable ladder also has got some bookcase potential. Unfold it in a desired spot, add wooden shelves and that's it!

    #4 An invisible bookshelf

    If you really want to impress your guests, that's the one you have been looking for. It's all about a few hinges that in the end are hidden behind the books.

    #5 Some colorful accents

    If you prefer some unusual solutions, you are going to like this one. Each bookshelf can be covered with some wrapping paper or wallpaper.

    All of a sudden your room will be so colorful.

    #6 A TV set with a bonus

    Obraz

    This original combination is the answer to the question whether watching TV really kills reading books. Resourceful and so practical!

    #7 An old drawer

    All you need to do is to cover the bottom of an old drawer and fix it to the wall. And an amazing bookcase is ready to store!

    Of course thanks to our plumbers there are so many possible combinations that this one here is just a tip of the iceberg.

    #9 A mobile bookcase

    Obraz

    Another design which in fact is really easy to make. As long as you have 2 wooden shelves, 4 wheels and 2 wire mesh baskets

    #10 Rope as an essential building material

    This is another proof that you don’t really need much to create something original and good-looking. In this case that means white wooden boards and a thick rope.

    #11 2 in 1: a table and a bookcase

    This is what I like the most. One object with two functions. What is more, to make it you only need to find an old wooden cable spool. A perfect match!

    #12 Wine crates

    Just like in the case of old drawers, you only have to decorate the bottom and fix it to the wall.

    #13 A file divider turned into a shelf
