1. Bourdonnais Double Bookcase

This sleek and sophisticated bookcase is the _perfect _choice for those craving a smaller bookcase to fit in a more snug location. The Bordonnais Double Bookcase may be small, but it is guaranteed to impact any room you put it in. This design, crafted from hardwood & fine veneers, takes inspiration from the Eiffel Tower. Delivered fully assembled, it is ready to place in your home as soon as it arrives.

2. Capri Bookcase

Sometimes you need a bit of extra color in your home, and this Capri Bookcase is just the ticket. Constructed from solid mahogany and hand-wrapped in moss-green natural raffia, this is a design that can only come from the likes of Ballard Designs. Offering five fixed shelves, the Capri Bookcase offers plenty of storage space for your books and ornaments. The neutral design ensures that it fits into both modern and traditional aesthetics.

3. Aman Bookcase

The Aman Bookcase is the perfect companion for a traditionally-designed room that is craving a spot of color. Boasting an almost antique aesthetic, this Navy Blue Aman Bookcase will be the star of any room it is in. The custom antique hardware, paired with the poplar and birch veneers construction make for a beautiful combination. Not only do you have five shelves here, but you also have a great drawer at the bottom, for storing even more of your essentials.

4. Casa Florentina Jospehina Bookcase with Cabinet

This beautiful bookcase is nothing less than a work of art. Constructed in Italy using the finest hardwood and fine veneers, the Casa Florentina Josephina Bookcase offers so much more than storage for your books and ornaments. There is a spacious cabinet and a perfectly-sized drawer. This is a modular bookcase, so you can even pick up a few other pieces from the same range and slot them together. We feel that this cabinet would make a great addition to any room in the home, with ours placed in our kitchen (it is perfect for storing cookery books).

5. Casa Florentina Josephina Bonnet Top Large Bookcase with Door

Our list of the top 8 bookcases continues with another offering from Casa Florentina Josephina. The aesthetics of this option are not dissimilar from the previous bookcase from the same manufacturer. Here, you do end up with a slightly wider bookcase, with even more cupboard and drawer space. Available in a range of colors, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a design that suits your home decor needs.

6. Toulouse Low Bookcase

The Toulouse Low Bookcase takes inspiration from French industrial design. It may look simplistic, but that’s part of the charm. The Toulouse Low Bookcase combines solid wood with metal brackets to create a design like no other. The three shelves provide ample storage space for your home. The shorter design ensures that it can fit into most rooms with ease. While it is, mainly, designed as a bookcase, there is no reason why you couldn’t use this as an end table, display for your flowers, or even as a small serving table.

7. Tuscan Flush Bookcase

The Tuscan Flush bookcase is a very simple design, but sometimes it is the simple designs that work. This bookcase has been constructed to work with any of the other office-style pieces in the Tuscan range, so you can mix and match furniture to come up with your own unique bookcase and storage set-up. This is a tall, narrow bookcase. This makes it tremendous for homes, apartments, and offices on the smaller side of things.

8. Tuscan Cabinet with Hutch and Shelves

If you are after the Italian-style Tuscan but in a more ‘complete’ set, then the Tuscan Cabinet with Hutch and Shelves may be the perfect choice. This stunning piece offers spacious shelf, cabinet, and drawer space. Constructed from hardwood and antique metal hardware, the designers have thought of everything when crafting this cabinet. You even have an in-built cable management solution, just in case you wish to use this to display lamps, digital photo frames, and more.
