Glass Door Bookcase
Submitted by: Lee Dobbins
A glass door bookcase is an elegant and practical addition to
almost any room in a home. Someone who is shopping for this type
of bookcase has several interesting features to consider. The
following looks at some of the appealing options when it comes
to glass door bookcases.
First, a shopper must consider the dimensions of the area where
he or she wants to put the bookcase. It's important to choose a
bookcase that will fit comfortably into that area of the room.
Fortunately, bookcases are available in a variety of widths and
heights that suit many types of rooms. It's a good idea to take
exact measurements of the area in a room before purchasing your
bookcase.
Door design is the next consideration for a person in the market
for a glass door book shelf. There are many types of door
designs to choose from. For instance, there are glass doors that
lift up and slide back into a bookcase. Alternatively, there are
bookcases with doors that open outward on hinges. Some bookcases
have doors that slide sideways to open. A shopper must choose
the door design that meets with his or her decorative tastes.
Bookcases are available with different quantities of shelves.
Some bookcases have four shelves while others have six or more.
A shopper may want to think about the size of his or her book
collection before purchasing a particular bookcase. A bookcase
must have enough shelves to accommodate all of the books in a
person's collection and even have some room leftover for new
additions!
Another consideration is the construction of a bookcase. Most
bookcases with glass doors are wooden. There are bookcases made
out of maple, oak, and mahogany as well as other types of wood.
Once again, a shopper's decision depends on his or her personal
tastes and visions for the look of the room where the bookcase
will be. Regardless of its type of wood, a bookcase should be
well-built and sturdy.
The color of a bookcase is the next feature to consider. Many
people like to choose bookcases that coordinate with the rest of
the furnishings in a room. For instance, if a person has a
collection of furniture in light-colored oak, he or she may opt
for a bookcase made with the same material. There are bookcases
that feature colors such as brown, black, espresso, cream, and
even weathered white. There are so many colors available a
shopper is sure to find just what he or she is looking for.
Bookcases are available in a range of styles to meet the
preferences of almost any shopper. For instance, there are
bookcases made in the traditional style. Generally, these are
wall bookcases that have plenty of shelves to accommodate a book
collection as well as a pair of attractive glass doors.
Alternatively, there are bookcases that feature a combination of
styles. For example, a bookcase may double as a china cabinet. A
person can store books in the case as well as display decorative
knickknacks on some of the smaller shelves. There are even
corner bookcases that fit neatly into the corner of a room. Some
people prefer to choose a bookcase in a style that complements
the other pieces of furniture in a room.
Finally, there are different styles of glass in the doors of
bookcases. Of course, a shopper can find plenty of bookcases
with doors that feature plain glass. Alternatively, many antique
bookcases have leaded glass doors. This lends elegant detail to
the appearance of a bookcase. There are some bookcases available
with frosted glass doors. Bookcases sometimes have plain glass
doors that feature intriguing designs. In short, the glass doors
of a bookcase can sometimes be the highlight of the entire
piece.
