Do you need more storage space in your home, but prefer the look of a slanted bookshelf over a cabinet?
These modern-style shelving units look really cool, plus they offer several advantages.
3 Advantages to Using Slanted Bookshelves for Storage:
1. First of all, they can save you a bunch of money over a cabinet or dresser, and they’re easy to put together. In addition, they don’t weigh much (under 40 lbs), so they’re easier to set up and move around.
2. Second, ladder style shelves have a minimalistic design, which makes them interesting to look at. On top of supplying more space for storing items, they can make your home look more attractive simply through their contemporary design.
3. Third, their tall, narrow shape enables them to provide lots of shelf space without taking up a lot of room. Not to mention, the see-through design keeps your room feeling open and more spacious.
Note: These multi-purpose bookshelves are ultra-versatile. We show you how to use them in kitchens and bathrooms below, but they can do so much more. For example, try them in an entryway, beside a desk, as a bedside table, to store dishes in a dining room, etc..
Add a Ladder Bookshelf to Your Kitchen for More Storage:
Add more storage space to your kitchen with leaning ladder shelves. They make the perfect spot for keeping frequently-used food items and appliances, plus they free up counter space.
Alternatively, you could turn it into a mini pantry or a cookbook library. And with the open, see-through design, you might even prefer it to closed-door cabinets.
If you have an empty wall area of at least 26″ wide, this ladder shelf will fit perfectly. Instead of installing more expensive cabinets or drawers, a slanted bookshelf may provide a better low cost solution.
Note: It might appear that this leaning shelf unit might easily fall over. However, it has a sturdy steel frame that attaches securely to the wall with screws. Therefore, it won’t move around or wobble.
How to Use Leaning Bookshelves in a Bathroom:
Slanted shelving units work well in small spaces, due to their compact vertical design. In other words, you can store lots of items without taking up lots of valuable floor space.
As a result, these bookshelves fit in many bathrooms that cannot hold cabinets. Their open structure also makes items easy to find and reach.
Store towels, soap, toiletries, books, bathing accessories. In some case, you may have extra space to display plants and photos to decorate the space.
In a bathroom, a ladder bookshelf can actually do double-duty: it provides storage while also adding stylish decor. As you can see from the photo, this piece creates an interesting focal point to the room without having to hang a lot of wall art.
