About our bookcases and bookshelves

A bookcase is both storage and a feature wall. Compare bookcases and bookshelves from UK retailers, from tall and wide shelving units to low bookcases, corner shelves, narrow designs and floating shelves, in oak, white, black and grey.

Choosing a bookcase

Think about how much you want to store and what the room can hold. Tall bookcases use vertical space, low bookcases suit under a window or as a room divider, and corner bookcases make use of awkward spaces. Open shelves show off books and decor, while cupboard doors hide clutter.

Strength and safety

Check the weight limit per shelf, particularly for books. Tall bookcases should be fixed to the wall using the fittings provided.

Beyond books

Use a bookcase for plants, photographs, baskets and ornaments as well as books. Mix open shelving with doors or boxes to keep clutter out of sight, and place heavier items lower down.

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a bookcase?

Measure the wall and ceiling height, think about what you will store, and choose open shelves for display or doors for hidden storage.

How much weight can a bookcase hold?

It varies by design. Check the weight limit per shelf in the product details, as books are heavy.

Should I fix a bookcase to the wall?

Yes, especially a tall one. Wall fixings help stop a bookcase tipping, and most come with brackets.
