What Are Built-In Bookshelves Advantages?
They blend easily with the interior and architecture of any space and are easy to match with furniture of any style. Built-in bookcases are less heavy on the eye than traditional free-standing bookshelves, often less expensive and easier to maintain too. You may personalize them using bright backing of wallpaper or just bold paint. The only disadvantage I can name is that building them in might be a bit expensive but if you are a DIYer, that’s not a problem.

If your bookshelves don’t match – just add necessary detailing like molding or shiny touches and voila! And if you are DIY person, built-in bookshelves are easy to make, so you can give it a go and try yourself at home. Use your space dividers if any to incorporate more bookshelves there, too, so these space dividers will be much more functional this way. You can use contrasting backing or framing if you really want to highlight your bookshelves or use the same colors as the wall to keep them neutral. Get inspired!
