Billy Bookcase Arrangement Ideas

Book Nook

• Use several Billy bookcases to create a cozy book nook. Place at least two Billy bookcases in the corner of a room, positioning them so they create a shelf-filled corner into which you can slip a chair. You can put a table between them in the very corner, or just butt the shelves up against each other. Fill the shelves, add a cozy chair and you are ready to read in your new comfy space.

Built-in Bookshelf Look

• One of the major benefits of the Billy Bookcase is that it is highly affordable, likely allowing you to use several to create a larger book storage space. Instead of relying upon just one bookcase to house all of your reading materials, purchase enough to fill an entire wall in your space. After placing these shelves against your wall, add several screws to hold them into place, creating a built-in bookshelf-inspired look for a fragment of the price.

Themed Chotchkies

• Give your Billy Bookcase a more eclectic and interesting look by adding knickknacks to your shelves. Instead of just placing odds and ends randomly around your shelf, place them thematically. For example, if you have a shelf filled with all of your old science textbooks from college, place your old toy rocket or a vintage microscope on this shelf, making these accents fitting for the contents of the books the shelf holds.

Basket Additions

• Make your bookcase even more useful by adding baskets to create drawers of sorts. Because the shelves on the Billy Bookcase are adjustable, you can fit them to accommodate nearly any size basket as long as it is no larger then 12 inches deep. Use these baskets to hold stationary supplies if you are short on desk storage space or even, if in a pinch, to hold socks and other small clothing items in a bedroom space. Place baskets alone on your shelf, giving it an entirely new purpose, or mix baskets with books to make the shelf serve dual duty.
