Corners seem to be the most under-utilized space in most rooms. So it makes sense that a corner you can use for storage or displaying collections is better than leaving every corner empty. That’s where corner cabinet bookcases come into their own. With a corner bookshelf unit, you can stack your books and add plants, small pieces of artwork and knick-knacks. Our design team has curated six corner cabinet bookcases that will work for small or large spaces and add a decorative touch as well as practical storage solutions.

We love the unique design of this bamboo corner bookcase. Each shelf has a 4.7” wide vertical end shelf that lets you stack books straight into the corner and prevents them from falling over. The end shelves are offset on every other shelf, creating an asymmetrical design. Use the portion without an end shelf to display a small plant, tall slender vase or two, or whatever collectibles you want to display.

Both sides of this corner bookcase’s shelves measure 25.5” from the corner, which gives you lots of storage and is perfect for a bigger blank corner. The shelves are a mix of differing heights, from 10.62” to 11.81”. This staggered look adds to the visual interest and lets you play with different book and decor item sizes. Including one or two small lamps on the shelves will let you create a warm glow in a corner that might be darker than the rest of your room.
