The open versus closed shelving debate is eternal, but why not incorporate both?
The case for a mix of open and closed storage is made by a Martha Stewart bookshelf, which just so happens to be on sale at Wayfair. A twist on the ever-enduring bookshelf wealth trend, the Teague Shaker Bookcase features a four-tiered structure, with three open top shelves and an enclosed bottom shelf.
The variations of shelving options provided by this Martha Stewart approved furnishing not only create visual interest and dimension in a living room, bedroom, or office, but also allow for discreet and strategic storage options, making this shelf a no-brainer for those who want to both display and hide items. Bookshelf trends are sure to follow suit.
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.
Below, we have rounded up some accessories that would work well with this versatile bookshelf. Reduced from $324.39 to $284.99, we would act fast as these deals won't last long.
