Many book lovers look forward to building out their very own home library when moving into a brand new house. It’s not unusual for bookworms to own so many books they could basically start their very own store. If you’ve found that your books are no longer just a fun hobby and more like a tripping hazard Home & Texture is here to help.

If you’re a bibliophile, you’ve no doubt found yourself admiring people’s bookcases and shelves online. On #bookstagram and #booktok, proud book nerds show off their latest reads as well as their well-put-together bookcases. We understand it’s not always easy to be one of those tidy bookworms. Sometimes you can’t help but have stacks of books in corners, on end tables and even a few piles of books piled next to an already overstuffed bookcase.

A statement library can include many things. At Home & Texture we’re obsessed with ceiling height bookcases. They bring drama and the oh, so romantic need for a ladder to sweep you from shelf to shelf. Think of all the space you can save if you have a bookcase that takes up most of your wall space!
Before purchasing a new bookcase take stock of your personal needs. How many books are you looking to fit and which room will house them best. Remember most bookcases can usually fit 100 texts per shelving unit. Whether you are looking for a bookcase to wow or enjoy a more understated piece for all your texts, Home & Texture has gathered a collection of cases to fit just about every bibliophiles wildest book dreams.
