Few week ago, I created a post about book shelves but i didn’t specify if it was a small of a big type. My readers went on to request for small bookshelf post and here I am. These bookshelves are small and they’re gorgeous, these are some of the most artistic you’ll ever see.

Smaller bookshelves are very easy to organize, it’s mostly got people with very small space, people who don’t want their bookshelf occupying too much space. There are so many ways you can go about this and you’ll find different examples here.

One thing about home decors is that you’ll keep finding different ideas that are better than what you had in mind before and this bookshelves are no different. There are different types and colors here you’ll not leave here without saving at least two. Without further ado, let’s check these mini bookshelves out.

1

Not everyone wants a big setup in their living room, some just want something that’s enough to fit their books. A smaller bookshelf that you can carry easily would be a good idea if you’re the type that likes to redecorate a lot. This bookshelf looks small and perfect, you’re going to love it.

This bookshelf looks very small and portable, it’s the ideal kind you’d have in a small space. This setup can be make by anyone as long as you’ve got the slightest knowledge of woodwork, it’s really not that hard to recreate this mini bookshelf.

There’s so many ideas and so many ways to go about your book arrangement and this is one of them. I never thought you could use books as means of art until I got into home decor, it’s one of the best practices there is. This book arrangement looks lovely.

Create a space on one side of the wall, this is something a lot of people do. After creating the space, arrange your books in a way that it shows the back cover, this is where the colorful look comes from. The back color if arranged properly, would contribute to the beauty of your space.

If you keep searching for more bookshelf ideas, you might just get lost. This is an artistic way to manage a bookshelf, it carries a patter that makes the wall look even better. I’d love to recreate this but with the wood painted in a different color, probably white or blue.

You can do this by gathering wood, creating different patters with your wood on the wall. I’ve done something similar to this but not as long as this, it wasn’t really hard even though it was one of the first things I had done with wood.

Planking method is what I call this, if you’ve been following my blog for a long time then you must have heard me say it a lot. This setup with regular planks on the wall is what I call planking method, it’s probably the easiest setup anyone could do.

Gather planks, paint them in your preferred color and attach them (in layers) to the wall. You can form pattern with this plank if you like, some like to create a zig zag pattern but I like mine to be just straight. Your books, plant pots and many other things can go in there.

Creating a very small opening on the side of the wall is something you’ll see a lot. This is very different from the regular small opening on the wall as it extends all the way to the top. If you’ve got a dark wall paint then it makes sense to extend your dark painting to the shelf.

This is pretty easy as it seems inbuilt, I think it’ll be better to hire a professional though. The color of this shelf looks even better and you’re going to love it if you like a moody style. This dark shelf looks nice and I’ll like to save it for my next project.

You can paint your shelf in any color you want as long as it doesn’t look bad when you place it in your living room. I’ve seen a house with a blue and white theme only to look to the side and find a pink shelf, it was probably the worst design I had seen.

If you’re going to paint your shelf in pink then your entire living room setup must have some parts of pink. If you look closely, you’ll see the curtains has elements of pink and I’m very sure other furnitures in the house will have pink too, this is the way to do it.

A minimal design is probably the cutest I’ve ever seen, I don’t want to say the cutest because I’ve seen so many designs that are good too. It’s a very simple way of designing things and it works, a minimalist design is just perfect, you’ll just love the look.

This setup is the easiest on here, if you’ve got a problem setting this up then you probably should stay away from anything that has to do with decorating. This is the easiest book setup I’ve ever seen, it’s literally the easiest thing you can ever decorate.

I like it when the shelf takes the shape of a space, this is probably an attic and if you know attics very well, you’ll know that they’re not well shaped. The roof of the attic is always bent so it makes sense to make some of the items like that too. The self idea is a genius one.

If you stay in an attic or your roof is shaped in a different kind of way then you should try this. This might be the cutest bookshelf right after the previous image. This setup is artistic, the book arrangement is also perfect. This is a very professional setup if you ask me

I remember telling one of my client of this ladder method and she didn’t want it because she wasn’t familiar with it. I then proceeded to try it for another clients wedding, we used it to place some pictures and planters, it was the most artistic thing on that event.

Since that wedding, I’ve gone in to do it countless time. This ladder method works well in any part of the house. You can seen how lovely it look here, the books look wall arranged and lets not talk about the planters and wall arts there too. This is a perfect book arrangement.

Just when I thought I had seen enough, i see the most artistic thing ever. This is hands down the most creative setup so far, this looks so good I don’t even know what to say. This is a perfect book arranging, it looks so futuristic is don’t even think I’ve seen something like this before.

This looks like a classroom not I feel it can seen be recreated in the living room too. This is the perfect book arrangement of you’re looking to set it up in a class room, this looks perfect if you ask me. This is one setup I’ll save for when I’m decorating anything class related.

Of all the bookshelves I’ve seen here I think these ones that are closer to the floor are my best, they are small and lovely. This is a perfect mini bookshelf and you’ll love it, I like a shelf that’s aesthetically pleasing and this one thicks all the boxes.

This shelf has three layers which is enough space to place all your favorite books and more. I like the space at the top that they’re reserved for planters and wall arts. I like to arrange my planters and wall arts in my bookshelf so this looks very good and it’s something I’ll do.

12

This ladder method has become a trend and it’s something you need to jump on if you like a static style. This can easily be done by a beginner, just gather some wood and make a ladder, I call it beginner friendly because it’s very easy.

A lot of people have unused ladder in their garage, you can easily reconstruct it into something lovely like this. I don’t expect you to call a carpenter for this ladder, there are detailed YouTube videos on how to pull this off, trust me, it’s easy to setup.

There’s nothing I like more than an inbuilt shelf, it’s something that you can have for a very long time, you’ll not need to do remodeling every now and then. It’s the best kind of shelf if you’re not the type that likes to redecorate your room every time. This is the best shelf for a small space.

The layers are perfect and it’s what I like the most about these type of shelves. With each layer comes a different section for items, you can see the books are arranged at the third and fourth layer while the first and second is decorated with planters and wall art.

There are different ways to arrange planks, arranging planks is my best method especially if I’m dealing with a very small space. Adding a norms shelf will take a lot of space and if you don’t have space, it’ll be very difficult to mange. These planks on the wall make things a lot better.

They’ve arranged the planks to form a nice pattern, it’s easily the most creative way to do it. This method is easy once you know how to attach the planks on the wall. All you need do is cut them in different sizes, you can form any pattern you like.

15

There are people that create their bookshelf and just dump their book however they like, I personally don’t like to do that. I like to create art with my shelf, it’s a place where my planters and wall arts go to so it makes no sense to leave it bland.

Book covers have colors and that’s the biggest scope you can use, these colorful covers can be very artistic and contribute to the overall decor if you do it right. I personally wouldn’t arrange mine this way because I love when they’re together and colorful but this is also a great way to arrange them.
