Home Office Function

Office bookcases combine reference storage with decorative display. Position frequently accessed items at comfortable reach heights. Reserve upper shelves for decorative objects and rarely used references. Enclosed sections store supplies and documents away from view while maintaining professional appearance.

Dining Room Storage

Bookcases in dining rooms display china, glassware, and collected treasures. Open etageres showcase beautiful dishes and serving pieces. Position where displayed items catch dining area light. Use lower shelves for table linens and entertaining accessories within convenient reach.

Styling Open Shelves

Balance books and objects across shelves for visual rhythm. Lean artwork against back walls for layered depth. Add plants for organic interest and life. Vary object heights within grouped arrangements. Step back periodically during styling to assess overall composition from viewing distance.

Etagere vs. Enclosed Bookcase

Etageres suit spaces where visual openness matters and displayed items merit showcase. The open framework maintains room flow while providing storage. Enclosed bookcases suit spaces with items requiring concealment or protection from dust. Consider room function and storage contents when selecting between formats.

What is an etagere?

An etagere is an open-framed shelving unit, typically with metal framework supporting wood, glass, or other shelf materials. The French term means "shelf" and describes furniture designed for display rather than concealed storage. Etageres maintain visual openness while providing organized surface for books and decorative objects.

How do I choose between brands?

Consider aesthetic preference and room style. Uttermost offers varied designs from industrial to glamorous metallic finishes. Moe's Home delivers modern clean lines in quality wood construction. Crestview provides distinctive design elements with decorative character. Essentials For Living specializes in brass and glass sophistication.

What weight can shelves support?

Weight capacity varies by design and construction. Metal-framed etageres typically support substantial weight when loads are distributed evenly. Contact Casa Bella Decor at 855.223.3267 for specific weight ratings on individual bookcases. Distribute heavy items like books across multiple shelves rather than concentrating weight.

Do bookcases require assembly?

Assembly requirements vary by design. Some pieces ship fully assembled while others require partial or full assembly. Contact Casa Bella Decor for specific assembly information before ordering. Professional assembly services may be available for complex pieces.

How do I care for different materials?

Dust all surfaces regularly with soft cloth. For wood, avoid excess moisture and use wood-appropriate cleaners. Clean glass shelves with glass cleaner, avoiding contact with metal frames. Wipe metal frameworks with dry cloth. Address spills immediately on all surfaces to prevent damage.

Can I use bookcases as room dividers?

Open etageres work effectively as room dividers, providing storage while maintaining visual connection between spaces. The open framework allows light and sightlines to pass through. Position divider etageres where both sides remain accessible and attractive, styling shelves to look finished from all viewing angles.
