Shelving

13 years ago
Was the book case shelving already installed or did you add it or buy it? I have a spare bedroom that I want to do this too. Any ideas on where I could purchase something like this? Thanks.

    Thank you for your inquiry... This is a custom floor to ceiling built-in shelving installation designed by our office. To get this look, you can either hire an architect / designer / cabinet maker to design and fabricate something to fit the specific dimensions of your bedroom... or if you're on a strict budget and looking for something you can purchase, you can get a similar look (though it will not be floor to ceiling) from IKEA - http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70196428/
    and MASH Studios - http://www.laxseries.com/work_and_study/5x5_bookcase.html
    I hope that is helpful. Good luck with your project!

    How deep is the bookcase? 30cm? 40cm?

    Could I please ask if you could give me the dimensions of the individual cubicles on the top shelf as well as the two rows in parallel with the television since your own office designed this bookcase? I think the proportions are great.

    Hello, Sheelz49 - Thank you for your kind feedback on this cabinetry. On a "better late than never" basis, I am happy to finally be answering your question, which I found today after all these years. We try to be current on Houzz, but do often have hiatuses in our involvement, and even when we are active we have at times simply not noticed questions. I'm really sorry for the huge delay on this!!

    We divided that unit into three vertical "height bands", tying the bottom two cubbies into the height of the adjacent built-in base cabinet, the middle two into the height of the TV niche, and the top 4 simply being "equal-equal" divisions of an overall 4'-9" height.

    This means that the top cubbies were around 12 5/8" tall, and the TV-adjacent shelves were around 1'-2 1/4" high (televisions were a bit smaller when we did this!). The widths of the shelf areas were uniform at approximately 1'-8". The entire unit depth was 13 1/2", which can accommodate even quite deep books.

    I hope that somehow this is still helpful to you. Good luck in your projects!

    Kind regards,

    Paul
