Save Space and Keep Your Books Neat With a Rotating Bookshelf
Rotating bookshelves are not a new invention. No doubt, you’ve seen them often in libraries and bookstores. However, most people have never had one in their home.
These types of bookcases were used often in large homes that had their own study or library. These traditional rotation bookshelves were usually around the height of a side table and had a minimum of two shelves on each side.
What are current rotating bookshelves like?
Most currently available rotating bookshelves are four-sided with four or five shelves on either side. This allows you plenty of storage space for all the books in your collection. The bookcase itself sits on a platform that rotates so that you can access all the books easily.
Rotating bookshelves specifically designed for children’s rooms can also have display shelves on opposite sides to make it easier for your child to select their favourite books easily.
What are the benefits of rotating bookshelves?
There are numerous benefits to rotating bookshelves over the standard bookcases that you place against a wall. These include:
- These bookshelves save an enormous amount of space because the books are housed on the four sides of a cube shaped unit that rotates.
- Most units are shipped flat packed and are easy to assemble.
- When you need to move house, these units can be disassembled for the move, saving space in the removal truck.
- It’s easy to select the book that you want quickly.
- You can also use them for storing home décor items like candles and ornaments.
- Most units have a flat top that makes an attractive display shelf for a nice houseplant.
- They’re available in different colours to suit your home décor.
- They can also be used in the home office to help with organisation without taking up a lot of space.
