Chosen well, it becomes a focal point in a room and helps organise everyday life at home. In this article, we look at what to consider before choosing your bookcase.<p><img src="https://euwpcnaioorzkhmwfnjn.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/creative-assets/images/b746c676-c3b3-4a0f-96fa-802d4fbf02a0/1793863914058-wafsz42rqx.png" alt=""></p> <h2>Before you choose</h2> <p>Before ordering, decide how many books and decorative items you want to display. Measure the available wall space and make sure the bookcase fits comfortably in the room without blocking a door or window.</p> <h2>Size and number of shelves</h2> <p>Height, width and the number of shelves determine how much storage space is available. A bookcase with several shelves, such as the LIBRO model with 14 shelves, offers plenty of room for books and decorations, while a narrower model is better suited to smaller rooms.</p> <h2>Where to place it at home</h2> <p>In a living room, a bookcase often becomes a focal point. In a study, it helps organise documents and reading material. For a hallway, you can choose a more compact option that provides space for small items.</p> <h2>Material and stability</h2> <p>Check that the bookcase is stable and sturdy. Pay attention to its construction, joints and how much weight the shelves can hold, especially if you plan to store heavy books.</p> <h2>Organisation tips</h2> <p>Place heavier books on the lower shelves and lighter or decorative items higher up. Leave a few spaces clear so the room looks calm and uncluttered.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>The right bookcase helps keep things organised and adds character to a room.
