Bookcase

Are you struggling to find space to place your laptop or take notes because your desk is sprawling with paperwork? If so, you may want to consider adding a bookcase to your office setup.

This piece of furniture is the perfect investment for offices and individuals looking to declutter their space without transferring crucial books and files to a storage locker several rooms away.

Sizes of Bookcases

One of the most common mistakes people make when selecting a shelf for their office is only considering its width. However, while you should always ensure your bookcase fits into your available floor space, you should also never overlook its vertical height. Each additional inch offers unique advantages and features that make each size different from the last.

1. Short Bookcases: This type of bookcase is best for spacious offices with minimal storage needs, as it only stands at about 30 inches tall. This lower height makes it the perfect option for tucking away small amounts of paperwork and a handful of books, while also using its top layer as a countertop for decorative items like vases and framed pictures that help add that personal touch that every office needs.

2. Tall Bookcases: The type of bookcase you pick will generally depend on how many documents and books you need to store. If you believe that your office will be handling a high amount of paperwork, then a tall bookcase is often the better choice. This design can rise as high as 73 inches and have as many as five compartments so it may be a little while before you run out of space.

3. Mid-Level Bookcases: The medium-level bookcase often ranges from 35 to 40+ inches and is often the best choice for offices that require a decent amount of storage space but don't want their bookshelves to be too imposing. This type of case is big enough to store three shelves worth of books and documents but still low enough to easily grab anything without standing on your tip toes. You can also combine two mid-level bookcases to double your horizontal storage space while maintaining a harmonious design.

Bookcase Styles

Beyond size, bookcases also come in a range of styles and designs that complement different types of offices. Here are some of the most popular types of bookcases available that you may want to be aware of:

1. Bookcases With Locks: This choice is best for individuals who have been weighing their options about grabbing hold of a bookcase but remain concerned about privacy.

   With this style, you get the best of both worlds by having an open space for displaying items like books while also providing a storage compartment that you can use to lock away sensitive documents that you don't want prying hands to touch.

2. Mobile Bookcases: A mobile bookcase with wheels is a must-have for any office that often gives out paperwork, such as documents and handouts, to staff.

   Instead of making multiple trips to the office or having employees file into a room, you can quickly load your mobile bookshelf with all the required materials. Once the case is full, you can take advantage of its wheels and meet your staff where they are, which should help create a more organized and comfortable experience for everyone.

3. Curved Bookcases: While most people believe that bookcases need to be flat and rectangular, this could not be further from the case.

   Today, various bookcases feature gentle v-shaped curves. Beyond this unique design, this type of shelf is also highly functional as it utilizes every inch of available space and never leaves any awkward gaps, even when you tuck it in the corner of a room.

What Else Can I Put On a Bookshelf?

This type of furniture offers far more versatility beyond mere book storage, and the sky will always be the limit with a bookcase sitting in your office. So, while it will always be the best place to store books, paperwork, or a basket of files, you can also use it to hold decorative elements like plants, family photos, and office awards.

Some people also choose to take things up a notch by opting for a taller bookcase for their office, as the extra vertical space allows them to take full advantage of this versatility. For instance, you can use its lower shelves to store paperwork while leaving its upper area free to showcase decorative elements that will keep guests engaged and visitors curious.

Combining functions may also be a better investment for your office as you will not need to purchase separate shelves for your storage and decorations. This should help you reduce clutter and save floor space.
