Your Idea. Your Bookshelf.

•   Shelves with slopes on the left, right, or back

Whether your new bookshelf should stand in a niche, under a sloping roof, or in a corner: With the right model, you can easily build a suitable bookshelf yourself. With self-configured furniture, you can turn awkward spaces into storage and create a new home for your favourite literature.

Your custom bookshelf

Building your own bookshelves is not as difficult as you might think. The online configurator from Furnfab.com guides you step by step through the planning of your bookshelf and offers valuable tips. First, you determine how large your new furniture should be. We offer you the possibility to configure the bookshelf to the millimetre.

To ensure your books find their ideal place, you should consider how many books you have and whether you want to expand your library in the future when planning. Think about how much space your books need and how you would like to display them. From large coffee table books to standardised book series, you can impressively accommodate any size. Also, measure how deep your books are so that even the largest book finds its place. If you want to build your bookshelf in a niche and it is not deep enough for all works to fit inside, you can position individual books with the cover facing forward. This way, everything finds its place, and the bookshelf looks visually relaxed.

If you later find that you don't have enough shelves, you can always reorder some. And if your book collection grows so large, you can of course design and build a second bookshelf in the same style.

Your individual bookshelf “Made in Germany”

Realise your ideas on how the new furniture should look. In the bookshelf configurator, you will find a variety of design options online. You can assemble your new bookshelf with the appropriate features and design it in your desired style. To store bookmarks, bookends, and reading glasses, you can also integrate drawers into your bookshelf. Alternatively, you can plan cabinet doors that discreetly conceal your belongings.

Adjust the design of the bookshelf you are building yourself to match your decor style. A bookshelf in white looks particularly simple and understated, making it perfect for many rooms. If you prefer a rustic and cozy style, a bookshelf with wood decor is a good choice. We offer various wood tones – from light maple to dark Merano brown – so there is definitely something for you.

The high-quality and scratch-resistant decor finishes ensure that you will enjoy your self-built bookshelf for a long time. We also provide you with fittings that demonstrate high quality. This allows you to build your new furniture safely and securely on your own. The furniture parts are manufactured in Germany under the highest quality standards, which is why we offer you a five-year guarantee on your new self-built bookshelf.

Bookshelves for every room

Children's rooms, libraries, living rooms, offices. You can build a bookshelf in many rooms. From "Pettersson & Findus" and "The Sams" to "Five Friends" and "Pippi Longstocking" to "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" – every children's and youth book finds its place in a bookshelf that you build yourself. In a children's room, a bookshelf can serve not only as a storage space but also as a room divider. This creates an area for your offspring to sleep and another for studying.

Such a dividing piece of furniture is also practical when you need to create a space for a home office in the living room. To ensure you still have daylight at the desk, you can design the bookshelf without a back panel. This way, you can have your books for studying and referencing quickly at hand while allowing light to flow through the room.
If you have an entire room free, let your own library emerge. With large corner shelves that reach up to the ceiling, you can utilise the space perfectly. Plan to include a comfortable armchair and ottoman so you can put your feet up and make yourself comfortable with a book.
