Pretty Bookshelves

Probably reading a blog all about bookshelves will lead to nothing but trouble for me, as neither my apartment nor wallet are all that big and I'm stuck coveting them.

Cardboard Bookcase
Both of these are homemade shelves made out of cardboard. I adore the spiral shape of the top one, even if it does make storage trickier.

8.4 Bookcase
I really like how this one's very geometric but doesn't have a repetitive look to it. It's something I could stare at for a long time and still find fun, new patterns in. It doesn't look like it'd be sturdy enough to hold a lot of books, but the designer's website shows it with books so I guess it can.

Røys Bookcase
I keep thinking I should like this bookcase more, but the fact that it's at an angle makes me annoyingly tilt my head to look at it. Although, on second thought, the angle might make it less necessary to tilt my head when reading the books' spines, which would be nice.

Code Bookshelf
I like the different widths for the different columns of shelves and how large this bookcase is. If only those white columns opened up to reveal more shelving, it'd be perfect. As it is, I can't help but think that those giant white spaces, pretty as they are, are wasted space.

Piopio Bookcase
The crookedness of this bookcase reminds me a bit of The Nightmare Before Christmas's aesthetic. I like it.

Corner Book Nook
The styling for this bookcase, with the slats on the shelves and walls of it, makes it look like it belongs in a college dorm. But I really like the idea, and if it were constructed out of solid pieces of wood, I think it'd be quite pretty.
