Hi,
I've got oak parquet flooring and denim drift coloured walls (Dulux) and am trying to figure out what kind of bookcase to have as I have a large open plan space . Do I go for an open oak book shelves or something else ?

6 years agoHi, depends what other furnishings are going into the room and if there's a particular style you're going for, but personally I love this one:

Ikea also do a similar one.

Comments (3)I would suggest that you try to find a non-standard bookcase. Maybe a selection of small wooden trugs or crates stacked to make a feature rather than just a boring bookcase. Another idea is that these crates could be washed with a light chalk paint to lighten the corner. Looking at your photo I would suggest placing the lighter picture above the TV instead of the darker mounted one. This might lighten up this area further....See MoreBookcases

6 years agoWhat size bookcase do you want? Is it to store hundreds of books or just for display? As others have said it, it would be good to know the style of the room. I quite like this brass one from swoon editions

6 years agoI wanted a bookcase that would fill the gap between the chimney breast and window , which is 230 cm in height and 150 cm wide. The bookcase will be used mostly for books as we are trying to create two spaces as the living is open plan with this side being a reading area and the other will have a fireplace and the TV ( see picture attached) We have exposed the metal columns to create modern industrial but elegant look.
Does anyone have advise on the sofa/armchair layout for this space ?

6 years agoI'd also go for floating shelves painted in the wall colour. I'd add a floor plan with dimensions re layout as it's quite hard to work out the space from the photo

6 years agoPlease find floor plan of open plan living area . Measurements from one end to the other is 9m and it's 7m wide at its widest point. We have a wood burner installed on the first chimney breast and the TV sits between the two chimney breasts .
