Later today, I’ll be convincing one of our clients that she needs arched bookshelves…
…and I feel ECSTATIC about it because it’s so the right thing to do in so many homes!
Including yours, perhaps? 😉
I’ll share with you 15 of my recommended designs, but in the end you can only choose one! (Unless you’re doing it in multiple rooms/various uses but that’s another topic about designing with variety and depth!)
Take a look at these and tell me your heart didn’t give even a little leap of happiness at seeing these beautiful curves?
Above shows a single, narrow option. That wood texture and warmth, especially on the cabinet doors below, is MWAH!
Below shows how a wider, double-shelf option could look just all in a simple, warm white:
Built into the wall and one continuous shelf horizontally…
If you can’t decide between black or white, why not do both? (Or reverse it! Or use wood interior…)
I highly recommend creating moments like this in unexpected spaces, such as what could have been a standard hallway.
Rectangles NEXT TO curves = unique!
If you can’t do built-ins (or you want to move your bookshelves with you because you’re renting or not planning to stay in your home long!), these arched stand-alone shelves are stunning options:
Black Arched Glass Display Cabinet
(styled version below!)
Storage Cabinet (comes in 4 different colors!)
Matte Black Glass Cabinet with Rounded Top
Love this bar cabinet too–comes in 3 different colors!
The photo below reminds me that we also have a post about the “cleanest” modern plaster fireplace designs to ease your eyes… 🙂
…as well as THIS post about how to choose the perfect interior colors for YOU!
