As a book lover, you don’t just lust after a cheap bookshelf. When you think about having your own private library and the best way to display your treasured books, you dream about something that is similar to that of the Admont Abbey Library in Austria. Barring that, maybe an impossibly swirly book nook that you can settle into. If that’s the case, then what you need are mission bookcases!
As there are myriads of them available on the market, you need to know how to find the best one for your space. Here’s a guide that will teach you to do just that:
Mission bookcases are large pieces of furniture that come with support walls, backing walls, and horizontal shelving. They’re often tall and rectangular although not all the time. They’re constructed using solid wood and they’re fitting for both traditional and modern spaces.
The right size will depend on a couple of factors like how much space there is in the room that you’ll be placing the furniture in. For an open space, the best choice is one that’s wide and measures a couple of feet across.
If there is not much room, then you can go up and not out. This means you need a tall mission bookcase, especially if you will be storing lots of books and decorative items on it. If that’s too much for your space, you can go smaller with a bookcase that only offers two to three shelves. Regardless of the size that you will be getting, make sure you get the measurements of the piece’s intended placement before you make a buying decision.
You may have kids around the house. If so, then consider whether you want them to access what’s displayed on the shelves or not. If you do, then a shorter option will be best for your household. If not, then a tall bookcase is a good idea as it can keep fragile and/or special items unreachable by children. Just make sure that you mount the bookcase to the wall as children tend to be curious climbers.
Many mission bookcases have adjustable shelves to allow for customization. If you have large books and you’re considering placing them on your new bookcase, then make sure what you get comes with adjustable shelves. Removing the shelves is easy to do. You just have to take out the added supports which hold them up.
Contemporary furniture makers make use of a myriad of wood types for mission bookcases as hundreds of wood types are available to them even those that are extremely exotic and rare. However, you’ll find a lot of mission bookcases made of European wood. The denser the type of wood is, the harder it is to work with. If your mission bookcase is made of solid wood, expect the price to increase. But, it’s guaranteed to last a lifetime which is why it's a good investment.
