Maybrook 72'' H x 32'' W Wood Standard Bookcase

Modern White Bookcase With Doors

Wade Logan®

Two glass doors cover five shelves on this modern white bookcase. Each shelf is fixed (not adjustable) and can support up to 35 lbs. The space between the shelves measures 13.8” high. This bookcase is made from scratch and chip-resistant wood; this bookcase sits on the floor on four black feet.

Designer Advice:

Linear and entirely modern, this white book shelf comes with two full-length glass doors. The tempered glass looks slightly reeded and isn’t as clear as regular glass. Consider where the door edges and center style cover the interior when you are arranging display items. Treat the four fully visible shelves as individual “windows” and center one large, two medium or a few small items together in each space.

Lachlan 86.61'' H x 94.5'' W Solid Wood Library Bookcase

Designer Advice:

We love the generous size of these white bookshelves with cabinets. The backs of the shelves are made from shiplap paneling which can be painted an accent color before adding the shelves and books. Pull an accent color from your color palette and repeat a lighter or darker version on the backboard. Now watch your collectibles and books stand out in contrast for an eye-catching display.

Buying Guide

Where to place a white bookshelf with doors?

A white bookshelf with doors is relatively versatile and can be placed in various rooms of the house, including the living room, bedroom, guest room, home office, and open-plan dining area. Since these pieces of furniture have a universal design, some people even place their white bookshelf with doors in the kitchen and use them to display their fancy glassware and cookbooks.

In terms of ideal placement, behind the sofa, beside an armchair and/or floor lamp, next to a window, across the dining table, in a corner, and by the side of the bed are practical and visually appealing ideas.

How to style a white bookshelf with doors?

A white bookshelf with doors can be styled one of two ways: In a way that adds color to make up for the fact that the white bookshelf recedes into the background, or celebrates the white bookshelf’s neutral palette by introducing more neutral tones.

If you think you’d like more color in your room, collect books with covers and spines in many different shades. You can group them by color, or you can decide that the varied effect is really what you’re after! Place the books vertically and horizontally on the shelf, adding in other colored knickknacks to break up the books.

If you’d rather stick to neutrals, follow a similar process—except remove the covers from the books, select books with neutral spines, or simply turn the books backwards so the pages face out for a modern, minimal, artsy-yet-peaceful vibe.
