Doorway Bookshelves

Built-ins are great due to their storage capabilities and elegance, especially doorway bookcases. They are a stunning way to make use of dead space above the door frame and show off your personality by filling it with items unique to you. Take a look at some of these great ideas.

Light and Dark

White shelving is the perfect contrast to a dark, moody room behind it. It also gives the homeowners lots of room to display a variety of artwork, knick knacks, and books without clashing colors. If you don't have the space or money for a full wall built-in, consider base cabinets on your doorway (closed storage is great if you have kids!).

Multimedia Storage

Multi-media storage is the perfect way to show off a little bit of everything. If done correctly, it can look very soothing compared to overly busy. It can create a great visual balance if the surrounding rooms are simply furnished.

Small Yet Mighty

Don't have a lot of space? Try a small built-in to the side of the doorway that reaches the ceiling. It can make even the smallest of places look spacious.

Cubbies

Not a fan of the standard bookshelf look? Try cubbies. They're great for storing groups of books, storing bins, baskets, and more!
