Before my little boy was born I was very intent on one thing, that he would have a great library. I have fond memories of my mom reading out loud to me as a child and remember getting so excited every time we headed to the library. I want my son to hopefully experience something similar and that all starts with great books.
Well, his library has certainly grown and now the problem is storage. I’m gathering ideas of how best to keep them organized while they’re still easily accessible. Here are some storage ideas for children’s books that I absolutely love.
Happy Entrance
These custom painted shelves offer a warm welcome instead of just walking into a blank wall.

Books as Art
Instead of covering every square inch of the wall with framed art, colorful book covers can become the art in the room.

Corner Nook
This little wall space between the windows could have been awkward but by adding the shelves of books, it adds a lot of interest.

Sweet and Simple
A few white photo ledges make a great holder for front facing books.

Toddler Sized
You can clearly see that this little girl loves her bookshelf. The goods are easy to grab and read!

Pink Pop
It’s easy to customize simple spice racks by just adding color.

Fabric Slings
Instead of going with a wooden shelf, you can easily make your own with some fabric.

Child Height
This shelf is probably a little more practical than some of the other ones since it’s at child height and the books are more contained.

Play Corner
I like the library feel of this corner. A great place to curl up and enjoy those books on display.
