Bespoke bookshelf

Built-in bookshelf

Oak Bookcase In Living Room

A whole wall of bookshelves can often create an untidy feeling in the room and it is easy for the beautiful books not to come into their own. But with a built-in bookcase like the one we had the chance to create for our customer, it instead becomes a natural part of the modern interior and gives the whole room a character and a calm.

You may find that we ask a lot of questions when you want our help, but all your answers give us the opportunity to provide you with the exact bespoke bookcase that meets all your wishes and needs.

Is it books you have the most of, or should your bookshelf also hold games, papers and other things that should ideally be behind doors?

Many are the choices that we help and guide you in and there are questions such as choice of material, style, lighting and handles. Together, the details that will create the whole and give your bespoke bookcase exactly the look you dream of.
Of course we help you with all the choices and questions you need to find out, but if you already know a lot about your needs and wishes, it helps us a lot.

>> The positioning of the light in the built-in bookcase creates a very cozy, even and pleasant light.

A question that often comes up is how big should a bespoke bookcase be? Will it take up too much of the room or shrink the room if it is a whole wall? In general, we feel that if the bookcase goes from wall to wall and from ceiling to floor, it blends in more and in this way is perceived more smoothly than if it is only a piece of the wall.

This particular bookcase fits in our client’s modern home, brown pigmented oak veneer gives warmth and character without taking focus from what we want to be seen in the room. For us, it is important that a piece of bespoke furniture not only fulfills all functions but also matches your style and the rest of the home’s interior.

Here we have chosen not to have handles on the bookcase, but the doors have a push-to-open function, which creates a stylish impression and there is no risk of walking into any handles when the bookcase is passed. In combination with the smooth door, the handle solution also creates the modern style we have chosen here.

"The built-in bookcase goes from wall to wall and floor to ceiling, creating a very calm atmosphere in the room."

In some cases, different sizes of shelves, compartments and cabinets are needed, but here we have chosen to have as few sizes as possible, which also creates a calm in the room. The larger section in the middle is perfect for a painting or something else beautiful and it breaks off so that the bookcase does not feel too heavy.

Lighting is, as always, an important part and in bespoke bookshelves, the placement of it makes a huge difference to the expression of the furniture. Here we have chosen to put it behind each shelf and recessed on the sides. The fact that the lighting is at the back of the shelves gives a very even and harmonious light behind the books. The lighting on the sides creates beautiful shadows and highlights details on the shelf.

The combination of how the bespoke bookcase is designed, how the lighting is placed and what materials and handles are chosen is what will determine how your particular bookcase will be.

Challenge us with all your dreams and we promise to create a bookshelf you will long to come home to.
