You know my motto: there’s always room for a bookshelf or three. But what if your home simply refuses to cooperate? Fear not, the Bookshelf Doctor is here with some imaginative solutions for all those awkward spaces!
Oversized staircase getting you down (or up, as the case may be)? Rather than keeping your vacuum cleaner and spare suitcases in there, make it a book haven. Some of those ornaments may just have to go, though.
Narrow hallway threatening to close you in? Stuff your boots and brollies under the bench, then sit down and enjoy your wall-to-wall covering of books and magazines.
Need a decorative item for the living room, to disguise your book-binging habits? Make it look effortless and minimalistic with this floating shelf.
Oddly-shaped space between windows? Don’t hide it! Draw attention to it with a vividly-coloured bookshelf and a picture of the villa of your dreams.
Living in an old manor house with beams? Try…
Nah, if you live in this manor house and have matchy-matchy book covers, you can probably afford to have a custom-made bookshelf built for you.
Happy weekend reading, everyone, and see you after I come back from here.

Enjoy your break x
I will be offline for a week or so, so talk quietly amongst yourselves till I come back…
Have a lovely time on those slopes. No doubt there’ll be books in your day pack!
I might not take them on the piste – although there is an ‘extreme reading’ challenge for my son at school – but I’ll certainly have a few in my suitcase!
Enjoy your skiing break ! Hope you have enough time and energy for some reading !
Never a problem! Hope I have enough energy for skiing – or, worse yet, for getting the children dressed for skiing…
Oh, enjoy your trip, Marina Sofia!!! Meanwhile, I’ll be exploring that delightful book-filled staircase… 🙂
Have a good time, MS!
I love the stairs! Enjoy your break offline x
I shall have the manor house bookshelves this month I think – and get all my tatty old paperbacks re-bound in soft leather. Have a great trip!
Well, if I ever move out of my studio/cave/apartment, I’ll consider some of these options 🙂
Such a wonderful post – so much bookshelf envy! Have a wonderful skiing trip!
