FAQs on Bookcase 50cm to 70cm Wide

What size bookcase should I choose for a small bedroom?

A 50–70cm wide bookcase is ideal for small bedrooms, fitting neatly above a desk or beside a bed without dominating the space. Choose wall-mounted or tall, narrow designs to maximise storage vertically. Measure your wall space first and allow 5cm clearance on each side for balance.

Should I buy a wooden or glass bookcase?

Wooden bookcases suit traditional and contemporary spaces, offer durability, and hide clutter well. Glass shelves feel lighter visually, suit modern interiors, and showcase decorative items. Wooden models typically cost less and conceal dust; glass requires more frequent cleaning but reflects light effectively.

How do I style a 60cm bookcase in my living room?

Mix books with decorative objects: alternate horizontal and vertical book stacks, add small plants, framed photos, and ornaments. Leave breathing room on shelves—avoid overcrowding. Balance colours across shelves and use matching bookends. Add a statement item like a sculpture or candle at eye level for visual interest.

Whats the difference between a bookcase and a shelving unit?

Bookcases are self-contained, freestanding furniture with fixed shelves designed primarily for books. Shelving units are modular, often wall-mounted, and offer flexible storage for various items. Bookcases provide integrated back panels; shelving units typically have open backs and work as room dividers.

How much weight can a 50–70cm bookcase hold?

Most wooden bookcases support 15–25kg per shelf, though this varies by design and material. Wall-mounted models often support less—check product specifications. Distribute weight evenly and place heavier items on lower shelves. Contact us for weight limits on specific models before purchasing.

Do you stock narrow bookcases under 60cm wide?

Yes, we stock bookcases from 50cm wide, ideal for tight spaces like alcoves and hallways. Narrower models work well in bedrooms, home offices, and corridors. Use our filters to sort by exact width, height, and depth to find the best fit for your room dimensions.

How do I measure my space before buying a bookcase?

Measure the width, height, and depth of your intended space in centimetres. Account for skirting boards, radiators, and light switches. Leave 5cm clearance above for visual breathing room and 10cm from walls for furniture movement. Note ceiling height if buying a tall model to avoid top collision.

Are oak or walnut bookcases worth the extra cost?

Oak and walnut bookcases cost 20–40% more but offer superior durability, longevity, and aesthetic appeal. They develop character with age and suit quality interiors. Budget alternatives like engineered wood are practical for rentals or temporary setups but show wear faster and hold their value poorly.

How do I keep my wooden bookcase clean and dust-free?

Dust weekly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth, moving along the grain. For marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid harsh chemicals. Once yearly, apply furniture polish suited to your wood type. Keep bookcases away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and wood warping.

Which bookcase style works best in a modern home office?

Opt for minimalist designs with clean lines, metal frames, or light oak finishes. Wall-mounted models save floor space; tall, narrow bookcases suit compact desks. Incorporate glass shelves or open backs for an airy feel. Match wood tones to your desk for visual cohesion and professional appearance.

Can I return a bookcase if Ive assembled it?

We accept returns on assembled bookcases within 30 days if unused and in original packaging. Once assembled, returns may incur a restocking fee. Contact customer service before assembly if youre unsure about fit or style. Keep all original packaging and documentation until youre completely satisfied.
