Bookcases are for more than Just Books

I love to use bookcases throughout my home to decorate because I find them to be way more functional than just a piece of furniture that holds books because they hold so much more. From personal items such as my photos, knick-knacks, and figurines, I can place them all on the shelves for a neat display.

A Great Place to House Your Electronics

If your bookcase is sturdy enough and you have a small TV, a bookcase can also double as an entertainment center. Your TV can go on one shelf and DVD player or stereo on another.

Back to Books

No matter what you choose to store on your bookcase, make sure you organize your books around it. Instead of having shelves loaded with nothing but books, it looks more interesting and decorative when you arrange them around the other items mentioned above. It not only breaks up the books but gives you and your guests something interesting to look at.

We’ve all had houseguests at one point or another and while an extended stay might not always be welcomed, the gracious thing to do is make their home away from home as cozy as possible. Here are few pieces of furniture no guest room should be without:

Dresser – even if your guest room has a closet, don’t deprive your guests of a dresser – three drawers at minimum.

End Table – not only can an end table hold a lamp but any other bedside essentials your guests need easy access to.

Bookcase – you don’t want your guest room to look barren. A bookcase is a great piece of furniture to add pictures or knick-knacks to. You could also let it hold a small TV that is not too heavy so guests can channel surf as they please.

Use Home Office Furniture to Create an Enjoyable Workspace

If you own your own business or find yourself bringing your work home a lot, you need a home office . Some people choose to take a spare bedroom and turn it into a home office or they use an existing guest room and just add a few pieces of furniture. Either way, make sure your home office has the following three pieces of furniture to get the most out of your workspace at home.

Desk

The type of desk you need is totally up to you. You may need a computer desk to house your equipment or maybe a simple writing desk is enough. If you do have to share your home office space with a guest room, consider a secretary desk that fold away into a multi-functional piece of furniture when not in use.

Bookcase

No home office would be complete without a bookcase to hold all of your books, knick knacks and other organizational items. Having a bookcase can help keep your desk uncluttered. Bookcases come in all styles and colors but make sure it coordinates with the rest of your home office furniture.

File Cabinet

To keep papers private and organized, stick them in a file cabinet. File cabinets are typically thought of as being metal but today’s styles come in various options to coordinate with home office furniture and blend more seamlessly into your home décor.
