This cleverly designed bookcase features three open shelves and one closed shelf, ideal for both displaying books and keeping objects safe and concealed. The appealing shaker style fits into any space, no matter your dining room decor.
There's lots to love about this bookcase, from its incredibly versatile, white finish to its subtly chic gold cabinet handles, which instantly elevate the unit.
There is also plenty of room to play with decorating the shelves, whether with books or objects such as vases, ceramics, framed photos, or even bookends.
While styling open shelves is a highly personalized process, we are partial to varying horizontal and vertical stacks to create a multi-dimensional area.
There are endless possibilities when it comes to the cabinet, too. If you're placing the bookcase in your living room, it can function as a storage space for blankets or pillows, while in an office, it can hold supplies. Alternatively, it can also just hide any books or items that you don't want to display, or don't fit into your current design scheme.
