SRM Architecture and Interiors Hi,
Our architectural team designed the shelving and had them custom built. I be a local cabinet maker could help you with something similar!

SRM Architecture and Interiors Here's an example of how we've used bookshelves and a fireplace together in one space, with a similar color scheme to what you've described.

Cindy If my walls are SW macadamia, can I just paint that on the back? The bookshelves are already the trim color (off white) and I just wanted them to pop but the red brick is an issue. I am hoping the macadamia wall paint harmonizes with the red brick. I considered SW Kilim that is soo popular, but it looked too pink. Thank you for your advice! It is an entire house paint job and I need to be sure I pick best paint colors.

lizzyvelez It would really help if you knew the name of the artist of this painting, it's so beautiful that I would love to have one as well. Is there any way that you can find out and get back to me.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Beth Woodson and Kristy Harvey to Get More Bang From Your Bookcase

A bookcase nook can be the perfect place to display a special work of art. A portrait, a painting or a favorite photograph can add a personal touch to what can be the focal point of the room. A bookcase is also a wonderful place for what can often be the necessary evil of décor: the TV. Surrounded by molding, arches and books, a TV would blend in nicely.

I usually don't like white walls, but with a strong accent color in the shelves makes it work. Black was a daring choice but it works perfectly. I would definitely consider doing this.
