Whether you"re a voracious reader who spends half their monthly budget at the local indie bookstore or just someone who appreciates flipping through a few choice periodicals, there"s no denying that a pair of stately bookshelves in the living room lends an elevated, well-appointed air to your space.

These designs will fill you with the shelf-confidence you need to make your living room"s bookshelves stand out. (Just don"t be surprised if these stacked shelves inspire you to pick up a little more reading material of your own—don"t say we didn"t warn you.)
