I love to read. I love books, and book loving equates to the need to have somewhere to stash my bound delights. Unfortunately I don’t have the space nor the funds to grab myself a Bookwave but there are loads of budget realistic options out there. The first which caught my eye was Casamania Opus Incertum (£248), looks fab, and it’s modular. I like modular.
John Lewis, one of my favourite high street stores, has the Bibilo Book shelf which is simple and functional, available in two sizes 90cm (£39) and 180cm (£69). You really can’t go wrong with that item at that price.
Loni is an offering from Habitat, the beauty of this one is that it can be used horizontally or vertically. And it’s cheap, just£89. And for all you retro lovers, this definitely has a retro vibe going on.
The very cool Lili Lite ($99) from Studio Smeets Design is a reading light, bookmark and bookshelf all in one. To turn off the light, you must put your book over the ‘bookmark’ as shown in the picture to engage a sensor. When you lift the book off, the light will come back on again. I love it. I want (minus the trailing wire though!!).
And if you too like books, then like me, I am sure you’ll be swooning over The Amazing Staircase (via Apartment Therapy). Quite frankly, it’s lush. And I don’t use ‘lush’ often.
Nb. If you’re looking for storage for your Bambino’s books, then do check out this Gallery Bookshelf post.

Would you not be stepping on your books, with the staircase bookshelf? It’s a nice idea, but I’m worrying about the practicality of ruining books!
I love the first one you chose – great design and very funky.
