Five ways to store books!

For today’s room redo, we are going to invite you to see our bookshelves as we share five ways to store and organize your favorite titles! I love that each one of these solutions is designed to fit in a different type of space, which makes it easy to organize any bedroom! 

#1: The Classic Bookshelf
​Our first suggestion is one that you are most likely familiar with: the classic bookshelf or cube shelving unit.  A bookshelf or shelving unit is, yes, designed for books! They are a great way to cram a lot of titles into one space, and it makes it easy to organize by topic/genre, color, height, thickness, or anything else you desire.

Where to use:
- Against Walls

#2: The Ledge Bookshelf
A ledge bookshelf is great if you like to browse through the titles of books and find the ones you want. I like that it allows me to see the covers of my books, and it feels kind of like shopping (definetely a plus for me)!

Where to use: 
​- Above beds
- In narrow spaces that a regular bookshelf won’t fit in

#3: Baskets!
Baskets and bins, when used correctly, can be an interesting and useful way to store your favorite books. Books can be leaned up against the sides of the bins and easily flipped through. This is an especially good solution for storing books that you don’t need to reference as often, like old school books. 

Where to use: 
​- Underneath Beds
- Underneath Desks
- In storage systems 

#4: Hanging Pocket Organizers
I love to use hanging pocket organizers for my library books. It’s any easy way to store and separate books that you own from books that you’ve borrowed from the library! These can be purchased at stores or made from sewing patterns, and will usually hold 2-5 books per pocket (depending on how big the pockets are and if you like to cram books in or not!). 

Where to use:
- On the backs of doors
- On walls

5: Drawers
If you have extra space in a desk, dresser or storage unit drawer, consider using it to store books! Whether for school reference books or your favorite novel, it’s a creative way to corral those titles and keep them within easy reach.

Where to use:
- Anywhere you have drawers!
