Top 5 Reasons Why You Need a Bookcase

Everyone likes to make their house a home. Whether it’s through incorporating a few comfortable rugs, some wood furniture, or even just by getting a house cat, the human race is most certainly nesters. However, if there’s one thing that really makes your house a home, it’s a bookcase. As such, we’ve included the top five reasons why you should be ordering a new bookcase today.

1. You Have an Excuse to Buy More Books

It’s a given – by adding a bookcase to your living room, you now have a reason to buy more books! If you’re an avid reader, this is your golden ticket to hitting the bookstore in search of your next favourite read. Often, people hold back on making new publication purchases because of a lack of space. You can only pile them up by the side of the bed for so long until your significant other believes you’ve got a problem. The addition of a bookcase solves this issue.

2. It Declutters Your Home

We live in a time where less is more, and homes are only getting smaller. If you find yourself strapped for space yet the desire to buy more books is as strong as ever, a bookcase can declutter your home in an instant. Instead of your property looking like a house of hoarders, you can opt for a streamlined approach, with a beautiful bookcase that ties in well with wood furniture in your living room.

3. There are Many Styles

Whether you’ve got wood furniture, industrial furniture, or even furniture you have inherited, you’ll find there is a bookcase to match your home décor. Treat your shopping experience like an adventure. Measure the space you have available, and peruse the options available to you. The best part is, you can then follow up this purchase with a trip to the bookstore!

4. Size Doesn’t Matter

Because of the many options available, your limited space is not a barrier to buying the perfect bookcase to match your wood furniture. If you have ample space, that’s perfect; the options are endless. However, if you have a small corner to fill, it’s helpful to choose a narrow, taller bookcase. Being strapped for space doesn’t mean you have to miss out, it just means you have to shop smarter.

5. It Encourages You to Read

Knowledge is power, so the more you read, the more power (and wisdom) you’ll have. North Americans may allegedly be reading fewer books, but a bookcase will ensure that you won't give up on this valuable learning and cultural medium. If you have many different book covers staring at you as you laze on the sofa, you might be more tempted to pick one up and give it a go.

Owning a bookcase is more than just owning a piece of furniture, it’s purchasing the housing for knowledge. Consider adding a bookcase to your living room, and reap the many different rewards. Want to get started? Explore our collection of bookcases today.
