Creative spine bookshelf
Zipcode Design™
This three-tiered spine wall shelf with a diamond-shaped frame looks like a work of art more than a functional piece. Available in four finishes, it’s guaranteed to become an eye-catching accent in your living room.
Designer Advice:
Unless you lay them down horizontally, small spine wall shelves aren’t ideal to store books. If you were hoping to use them as actual bookshelves, then consider a design with a central vertical panel. That way, you can lean your books against it and will only need to use a single bookend on the other side.

Diagonal spine wall shelf
Foundry Select
These extremely customizable spine wall shelves come in four sizes and finishes (dark walnut, walnut, gray, and white), all including dark metal accents and a rack for some additional storage. This makes them ideal for towels and cloths in the kitchen.
Designer Advice:
A wall shelf with diagonal spines is certainly a more creative choice that you can use to turn that part of a wall into a captivating visual statement. However, we only recommend it in fairly wide or uncluttered areas, as it’ll take up more space than traditional vertical designs.

Wall shelf column for large walls
Wade Logan®

$77.99

Designer Advice:
Avoid a cluttered feel by displaying your items strategically. A visually interesting idea would be to decorate your spine wall shelves asymmetrically by placing some taller items on the top left corner, some shorter ones (such as a few books arranged horizontally) on their left, the opposite on the shelf below it, and so on.
