Looking for handmade custom bookshelves, or possibly some floating shelves? A bespoke design that is both beautiful to look at as well as functional should be the ultimate aim. To help shape your design, ask yourself the following questions:

• Take the time to thoroughly measure the space and don’t forget to leave adequate room to walk in front of the bookshelf
• Consider the height of not only the surrounding space but the people needing to access the objects
• What do you plan to store in the bookshelf (paperbacks, hard covers, magazines, CDs, nick knacks, DVDs, video games, photos etc.)? This will affect the height and depth of the shelving
• Does the bookshelf need to be moveable or can it be built in?
