Book Lovers Furniture

October 11, 2017

Imagine you are looking through the eyes of another person who comes to visit your home. As they walk through the front door, what do they see first? Clutter and overwhelming amounts of items can be intimidating to your guests. Studies even have shown that people who keep neat and tidy homes actually have lower stress levels which directly lead to lowered blood pressure.

You don’t always have to have an item in every single place. Open is not a bad thing, space wise. Imagine a bookcase. Your bookcase could look cluttered with every little nook and cranny filled with items other than books.

The Southwest Furniture Collection is constructed from wood reclaimed from local aging and abandoned haciendas. Using only aged, reclaimed wood, this collection reduces pressure on forest resources and promotes a sustainable usage cycle. Our Puebla Bookcase is a fine example of this popular furniture.

Try to keep only books in your bookcase (bookends are of course allowed, too). It will look neater to any potential guests than having cluttered items elsewhere on the shelves.

If you are in need of some hidden storage then our Campos Bookcase offers solid wood doors to hide unruly clutter plus open shelving above for displaying your favorite books. Or maybe a Bookshelf Desk is in order for your home! Work and storage in one beautiful piece of furniture.

Empty space on your shelves is not a bad thing. Look at the empty space as more books for you to buy in the future and plan for that day when your bookshelves are full of what it was built to hold…books.
