These elegant antique bookcases are highly demanded by book collectors and readers all over the world because of the way they are crafted. The designers of these bookcases use hardwoods like camphor, oak wood, mahogany and walnut to create these elegance and sophistication. One can choose antiques from a variety of designs, depending on the period in time it belongs or its style. Some of the bookcases styles include Georgian, revolving, adjustable or even inlaid and one can choose from a variety of sizes too.

When choosing antique bookcases, one should put into consideration the home decor. Different rooms could have different styles, sizes and shapes. They could be free standing or built in, depending on the room dimensions and feel. One should also order them in such a way that individual units can be combined to one whole unit when need arises. Before you decide on the type of bookcases you want to install in your house, there are other considerations that you can put in place, i.e. the height of the bookcases, will they be closed or open, will the style be oriental or modern, but beauty and glamor should always take center stage in these process.

The wood materials used in bookcase headboards vary. There are some models that use solid oak, cherry, maple, as well as quarter-sawn white oak. They also feature a number of shelves where you will be able to store some of your most important gadgets and things. Depending on the size of the headboard, there are some that have two large levels of shelves while others feature only a single tier. There are also models featuring a combination of both, with two single-level storage shelves located at both ends of the headboard, and a middle storage area with two mini-tiers.

Their design also vary with some Queen Bookcase headboard models featuring open shelves while others having sliding covers. While both models have the same objective, and that is to provide you with storage shelves, the sliding-cover models allow you to hide its contents when you are not using them.

You can even showcase picture frames that contain photos of your family as well as your pets.

Bookcases, Not Just For Books Any More

Although this article is about bookcases, I'd like to get this out of the way first and foremost; lots of people still read. It's a fantastic way to spend your time and you can invariably gain the shared wisdom of the great minds before us. Standing on the shoulders of giants springs to mind. Alternatively you can just zone out and read a book purely for the emotional stimulus. As long as it's interesting, it's good to read, that's my rule. But again, that's not the point of the article.

Open Bookcase Shelves

Bookcases were once built to hold, store and display books, nothing more, nothing less. With today's contemporary design and the rapid increase in technology as well as the fusion of fashion and function, bookcases are becoming bolder and more stylish. They achieve now what multiple sets of shelves used to. In fact they are beginning to overtake shelves, TV stands and end tables as a place to 'put something' and are becoming more like murals than storage.

Open Bookcase Shelves

A couple of great examples are the Jigsaw and Pombol bookcases by Portuguese furniture designer Tema Home'. Tema have managed to find the perfect synergy of practicality and aesthetics with their creations. The construction is easily equal to the top Italian designers. Not only are there areas for books, there are sections for your television, other set top boxes and a multitude of decorative ornaments. Of course you can put things wherever you like and there aren't any 'designated' spots, but the display models I've seen do a fantastic job of demonstrating their versatility.

A bookcase is no longer a discreet element that sits in the corner or on a secondary wall somewhere. They can be magnificent structures that establish a real presence in the room. Of course it doesn't have to break from tradition the way I may seem to be suggesting. I think we've all at one point or another had our breath taken away by an incredible collection of text volumes; books containing some of the most valuable information of our time and of the past. Think of the Great Library of Alexandria... or various scenes from Harry Potter. In more humble settings, a grand bookcase filled with encyclopaedias and classical works is really quite something to behold. As decoration or as a display of your learning, capability and achievement, bookcases remain quite relevant even in today's minimalist settings.

As with many of the most reputable European designers of today, these kinds of bookcases are built to be part of a collection. Although it's easily possible to use modern bookcases for just about any living room function (an entertainment centre, decorative shelving, CD and DVD rack, a place to put your coffee mug etc.), designers seem to be keeping the traditional function in mind by creating individual furniture pieces (such as coffee tables and sideboards) to compliment the bookcases whilst being perhaps a little more suited for certain tasks (e.g. a plate of biscuits).
