Bookcases for the living area: harmony combining practicality and visual appeal

Bookcases are an essential element in every living room, not just because they provide a home for our books and decorative items, but because they also really enhance the visual appeal of the entire living room.

Design and practicality

Giessegi has a number of corner, linear or double-fronted models to suit the space available; in particular, double-fronted models are perfect if you wish to divide an area in both visual and functional terms.
All the same, a doubt may arise during the design phase: is it better to go for a solution with open or closed storage spaces?
The answer is simple: include both for an original and dynamic effect!
Such a combination gives you the best of both worlds: room to display and room for storage, in a perfect blend of aesthetics and practicality.
Giessegi offers almost unlimited levels of customisation: you can add (Clear, Reflex, Satin-finish Bronze, Fumé) glass doors to the bookcases with frames ranging from White to Teak to produce an appealing display of light, shadows and reflections.

The right accessories to make the most of your bookcase

LEDs fitted on bookcase shelves provide that additional lighting that turns a simple item of furniture into an element of design.
Bookends are also essential accessories to keep your books upright on a shelf and are available in metal (Brown, Copper, Champagne) and glass versions.
The final touch is provided by support racks and cubes which help to organise and divide the space on your shelves.
