Tall Corner Bookshelf

Jump To Our Picks

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.

Adjustable Corner Bookshelf

Adjustable Corner Bookshelf

Featuring three adjustable frames and crafted from durable mango wood with a natural light-brown stain, this bookshelf’s biggest asset is that the shelves are removable. This means you can quickly and easily organize your book collection.

Designer Advice:

The stripped-back geometric design of this bookshelf would look amazing in a home decorated in a minimalist style. Warm neutrals would pair best with its ashy brown color, as brighter colors such as red will overwhelm its simplicity. Stick to beige, cream, or off-white for a relaxed and cozy atmosphere.

Tall White Corner Bookshelf

Tall White Corner Bookshelf

Tribesigns

Modern and chic, this tall white corner bookshelf has five tiers. It features an open back and is constructed from a mixture of wooden boards and a metal frame so you can place heavy objects on it without worrying about their safety.

Designer Advice:

Due to the open back of this bookshelf, using a couple of shelves for plants or decorative objects like a vase would really accentuate the space around it. For an attractive contrast, opt for metal accenting in rose gold, which always looks good with bright white.

Steel Corner Book Shelf

Steel Corner Book Shelf

Latitude Run®

Constructed from high-quality steel, these corner bookshelves can hold a lot of books. It has 7 sturdy shelves and large gaps in-between, ideal if you have any larger books. You won’t have to worry about heavy books either, due to a weight capacity of 70lbs per shelf.

Designer Advice:

There’s definitely a retro vibe to these bookshelves, but we think they would look great in a room with lots of metal accenting and geometric shaping for a look that is retro without being overwhelmingly vintage. The mid-brown color of the shelves will be easy to match to other furniture, too.

Oak Large Corner Bookshelf

Oak Large Corner Bookshelf

Not just tall but relatively wide, too, this oak bookcase offers the ultimate laidback farmhouse vibe. Crafted with a reclaimed oak finish, it has five shelves that offer plenty of room for books, magazines, or toys.

Designer Advice:

We can just imagine this bookcase in a room with a wooden floor and rustic furniture detailing. Inspired by the wood plank design, add small details like throws, cushions, and cushions in cream, gray, or patterns like plaid to bring the room together and make it look instantly welcoming.

Unique Corner Bookshelf Design

Unique Corner Bookshelf Design

17 Stories

You can choose from four color combinations with this corner bookshelf design, which curves around for an openwork look that means none of your precious books will be hidden away.

$1659.99

Designer Advice:

If you go for the black/brown color option, place it in a room that has a darker color scheme, as the iron/wood combination will look out of place in a room full of light neutrals. Alternatively, the gold/light brown color option will flood any room with light due to the gaps in-between shelves and the frame – place it near a window for maximum results.

Cone Shaped Tall Corner Bookshelf

Cone Shaped Tall Corner Bookshelf

Old Modern Handicrafts

Crafted from solid wood Canadian cedar and resin fiberglass, this unusual bookcase will make a statement in your home. Standing 90 inches tall, it is a rich brown color and combines classic woodworking techniques with a new and interesting design.

This bookcase stands out from the crowd due to its unique cone design, which is inspired by canoe/kayak shapes.

$2369.99 $2986.79

Designer Advice:

While there are five shelves, each is differently sized, which means the upper two won’t hold much. However, we think that it would look striking in a room that has high ceilings and is decorated in a similar classic style.

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.
