Tall Corner Bookshelf

298 Ideas by Chloe Hughes

A bookshelf or bookcase is something that can add gravitas and class to any room, but some of us don’t have the space for something large width-wise. If that’s the case, a tall corner bookshelf will save the day. Not only will it look perfect in that neglected corner you don’t know what to do with, but the tall stature of your new corner bookshelf means it won’t take up precious wall space, either.

Buying Guide

Once upon a time, bookcases were used solely for the collection of books. Now, however, their use is for a broad mix of collections including books, artwork, plants, and other items. Therefore, when selecting a tall corner bookshelf, it should be done with thought and consideration regarding what things will be placed on its shelves. Will it become a showcase for a collection of pottery? Is it filling negative space in the corner and needs to contain bold items, including books? We'll be answering these questions, and others, in the following buying guide.

The materials you select for the tall corner bookshelf are significant. Not only will it impact how the bookshelf looks but it plays a vital role in how long it will last. What it's made from will also determine how easy the piece is to move around. For example, selecting a bookcase made from hardwoods will last longer. These bookcases pose a challenge to move around because the wood is dense. Bookcases made from veneer and plywood are common materials. However, they don't last as long. On the flip-side, these materials are lighter-weight and easier to move around.

When a tall corner bookshelf features adjustable shelves, customizations are possible. Not only is this optimal for storage options but also when you have items you'd like to showcase featuring different heights. You can play around with the shelf adjustments to accommodate your needs. Therefore, as your decor changes, you can coordinate your shelving as necessary.

Utilizing an open back bookcase gives the room an illusion of a larger space. Placing a tall corner bookshelf without a back will allow the wall to show through. By putting a light in the corner behind it, the area will look more substantial.

What's surprising about bookcases is that their style options will mix and match with a variety of styles. For example, if you're working with a rustic style bookcase, you don't necessarily have to pair it with a coastal or rustic style room. You may find that this style tall corner bookshelf will look great in a modern style room. Experiment with different styles and theme options and keep an open mind.

Standard tall bookcases that fit into the corner are typically narrow and will slide right into place. Because they’re tall and skinny, they usually don’t take up much space. Some feature whimsical designs and will require additional space to accommodate those features. However, their depths are typically a standard twelve inches deep, and their widths are usually between twelve to fourteen inches wide. Their heights generally are approximately sixty-four inches tall.
