When it comes to designing bookcases, all you need is a flair for creativity, a small budget and a passion for reading. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Affordable DIY Bookshelf Ideas For Your Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are a few simple bookshelf designs that are pretty easy to put together. Moreover, these bookcase ideas won\u2019t be too heavy on your pocket either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Floating Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-25-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Books and flowers in a vase on floating wooden bookshelf\" class=\"wp-image-53886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-25-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-25-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-25-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-25-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-7-25.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This creative bookshelf is perfect for small rooms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This cheap DIY bookshelf design idea is perfect for dorm rooms and studio apartments. Apart from not taking up a lot of space, it also gives a modern look to your place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the fact these bookshelves appear suspended in mid-air, they are strong enough to hold your belongings. They aren\u2019t too difficult to install either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These shelves are called floating shelves essentially because you can\u2019t see any hooks or brackets supporting them. This is done by nailing a wooden cleat to the wall before sliding on a hollowed out shelf on top of it. For a sturdier bookcase, you can even use nails to secure the shelves to the cleats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apart from books, floating shelves are also a refreshing way to display small potted plants, photo frames and other accessories. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pallet or Crate Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-9-12-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Bright living room with DIY pallet bookshelf\" class=\"wp-image-53893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-9-12-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-9-12-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-9-12-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-9-12-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-9-12.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Re-purpose old pallets for this beautiful DIY bookshelf <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you want to give your home a cosy, barn-style feel? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If so, this bookcase idea will be a perfect way to spruce up your place while simultaneously providing some extra storage space. Also, since wooden crates and pallets are available for pretty low prices, this DIY bookshelf design idea is also not going to cost you much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you\u2019ll need to make sure the material you are using isn\u2019t damaged in any way or it could bring the entire structure down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can arrange and rearrange the crates from different angles until you get the desired result. Then, once you are satisfied with how it looks, nail the pieces together. It\u2019s better to paint the crates before you assemble them. Moreover, just use a fresh coat of varnish to seal the colour once it\u2019s all put together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along with books and decorative items, you can even place wicker baskets in the empty crates in your bookcase for creative storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Birdhouse Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-6-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Colourful DIY birdhouse bookshelves\" class=\"wp-image-53900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-6-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-6-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-6-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-6-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-2-1-6.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>These trendy birdhouse bookshelves will add value to your home decor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are looking for DIY bookshelves for small rooms, a birdhouse inspired bookcase is perhaps your best option. These bookshelves are ideal for children\u2019s bedroom and playroom. You can easily find big, wooden birdhouses in the market. All you need to do is remove the wooden plank at the back and add some shelves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since one birdhouse is likely not going to be enough to store all of your kids\u2019 book collection, you can use more than one and either mount them on the wall or put them on the ground. In case you can\u2019t find ready-made birdhouses, you can always make them yourself for even cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also paint these birdhouse bookshelves in bright colours to compliment the d\u00e9cor of your child\u2019s room. Moreover, you can use these shelves to store other items like colouring books, boxes of crayons, board games, action figures and other toys. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ladder Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1-5-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Re-purposed bookshelf ladder\" class=\"wp-image-53901\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1-5-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1-5-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1-5-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1-5-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-3-1-5.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Use an old wooden ladder for a vintage DIY bookcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a fan of vintage d\u00e9cor, your home is incomplete without a classic ladder bookshelf. While there are several ways to turn a ladder into a shelf, the easiest one is to take an old ladder or a step ladder and attach a wooden plank to each step to create shelf space. It\u2019s better to secure everything with nails. Moreover, don\u2019t forget to create a base for your ladder bookcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since most households already have ladders, you can just utilize that and buy a new one for your house. Another option is to buy a second-hand one and repainting it in accordance with the theme of your home. Generally, dark or rustic wood stains incorporate well with almost every d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-49-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Traditional wooden bookshelf\" class=\"wp-image-53902\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-49-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-49-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-49-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-49-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-5-49.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Nothing beats the traditional wooden bookcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/budget-friendly-ways-make-apartment-look-expensive.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"make your home look expensive (opens in a new tab)\">make your home look expensive<\/a> and luxurious like a traditional bookshelf. Generally, these bookcases are large, heavy and have horizontal shelving along with a back wall. Although they come in all sizes, both tall and small, these bookshelves are usually made of wood. They have a solid appearance with some artistic details. However, these bookcases are easily available in every material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be it your bedroom or the drawing room, you can place a traditional bookcase pretty much anywhere in your house, depending on the floor space. Moreover, unlike most other homemade bookshelf ideas, these bookcases are timeless and can be used in all kinds of settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Industrial Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-1-8-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Industrial vertical garden bookshelf\" class=\"wp-image-53903\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-1-8-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-1-8-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-1-8-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-1-8-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-1-1-8.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Save up on space and given your room a modern look with an industrial bookshelf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Industrial bookcases are the perfect way to add a little bit of charm to contemporary home d\u00e9cor. Like most pieces of furniture listed in this article, you can either buy an industrial bookshelf or go the DIY route and make one for yourself using metal pipes and wood boards. These bookcases usually don\u2019t have a backing wall and can even be used as dividers in big rooms or studio apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can simply customize your bookshelf by adjusting the dimensions of the shelves in a variety of ways to fit your needs. For instance, you can remove some open shelving to create space for your television set. Similarly, you can paint it in interesting ways to brighten your home or office space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tree-shaped Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-10-10-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"DIY tree shaped bookshelf\" class=\"wp-image-53904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-10-10-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-10-10-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-10-10-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-10-10-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-10-10.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Tree-shaped bookshelves are ideal for children&#8217;s bedroom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are tired of your boring, bare walls, add a whimsical element to your home d\u00e9cor with a tree-shaped bookcase. Yet another popular DIY bookshelf design idea, this artistic bookcase functions both as a storage space for books and a piece of decoration. While the tilted branch-shaped shelves illustrate an actual tree, the unique position and shape of the shelves allow you to organize your books and other items in a creative manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to create a tree-shaped bookcase, you\u2019ll need a long and thick piece of wood to act as the stem and smaller pieces of either wood or plywood to serve as branch-like shelves. Even if you have no prior experience putting together something like, you cannot go wrong with this design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on your needs (and vision), this bookcase can be as simple or as intricate as you desire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skateboard Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-8-12-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"skateboards on a shelf\" class=\"wp-image-53905\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-8-12-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-8-12-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-8-12-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-8-12-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-8-12.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Have a lot of old skateboards lying about? Use them to create a DIY bookshelf<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are there any old skateboards lying uselessly in your storeroom? If so, take them out and hang them on a wall using small wall brackets. This is perhaps one of the simplest and most creative DIY bookshelf design ideas that you can use to upgrade the d\u00e9cor of your children\u2019s bedroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in order to make sure the skateboard doesn\u2019t fall off the wall due to the added weight of the books and everything else that you decide to fill it up with, secure it to the wall bracket using carpenter\u2019s glue since using a nail and hammer would damage the entire board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hanging Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1-3-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Hanging bookshelf with photo frame against bricked wall\" class=\"wp-image-53906\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1-3-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1-3-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1-3-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1-3-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-4-1-3.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>This hanging bookshelf is both trendy and budget-friendly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This minimalistic bookcase doesn\u2019t require a lot of construction material and tools, which makes it an ideal DIY project for beginners. To create a hanging shelf, you\u2019ll only need a piece of wood, some paint, leather or suede straps and a handheld electric drill. Make sure the shelves aren\u2019t too big or else the leather straps might not be able to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Assembling these shelves don\u2019t take long either. However, before you begin, paint or stain the wooden pieces in accordance with your d\u00e9cor choices. Once the paint is dry, drill a hole on each end and make it big enough to loop the leather through it. It\u2019s really important to tie multiple knots to secure the shelf before looping the strap through the second hole and repeating the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to measure the distance between the two holes on the shelf before marking the exact spots on the wall to place hooks to hold the leather straps. That\u2019s it. You can display some lightweight books and plants on these shelves for a simple yet vibrant look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cube or Box Bookshelf<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-40-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Minimalist white cube box bookshelf with plant\" class=\"wp-image-53907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-40-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-40-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-40-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-40-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/image-6-40.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Add some indoor plants to these minimalist bookshelves <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This elegant and sophisticated DIY bookcase design idea does not only add depth to your room, but it is also very affordable and requires little work. Moreover, you can use combinations of sizes to make storage space for different things apart from books \u2013 like a vintage radio or your children\u2019s school trophies. Cube shelves are highly versatile and very simple to put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to create a uniform look, buy several pieces of wood in similar size and fasten four sides together with screws before putting on the back. You can easily put together several such boxes in the span of a few hours. Like other projects, it\u2019s better if you paint the shelves beforehand. Make sure to use a coat of varnish once you\u2019ve assembled all the boxes together and fastened them onto the wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the theme of your home and the space available, you can experiment with different styles and shapes to create a unique bookcase.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adding a bookcase to your d\u00e9cor is a brilliant way to add character to your home.
