9 Creative ways to store your books
To celebrate World Book Day on the 3rd of March, we’ve been scouring the internet looking for clever ways to store books. People amass books for a number of reasons. Some have every intention of rereading their favourites one day, others hope to pass classics on to their children, unable to part with them for sentimental reasons or starting to build a valuable collection.
However, growing book collections and shelves can quickly dominate your house.
We’ve seen some rather impressive ideas but far too grand for most of us living in the UK due to lack of space. However, we found these ingenious storage ideas for books that are within reach and many of which allows for a bit of upcycling.
