I have a constant battle with the number of novels in my house, so I am always on the lookout for more bookcases and shelving. Thankfully there are some stunning contemporary options on the market, many of which add style and artistic attributes, in addition to practical storage solutions. Below are a few of my favorites. — Rachel out of Fresh Design Blog
