Furnish your home with a painted bookcase

Start your own stylish library with one of our painted bookcases, finished in a range of contemporary colours from off-white and delicate sage, to inky blue and slate grey.

The best colours for painted bookcases

Painted bookcases are a simple way to update your space with stylish and practical furniture. Our painted furniture ranges include a variety of elegant colours, so you can easily find the perfect bookcase to suit your home.

For country cottage effect, consider an antique-inspired bookcase in off-white or pale grey. If you want to channel a contemporary look, choose a painted dark grey or inky blue bookcase. Available in a selection of heights and widths, you can find a piece that has the storage you need, ensuring your space looks organised and stylish.

Styling tips

When deciding how to style your bookcase, think carefully about the design and colour and how it will impact your space.

If your space is naturally dark, choose a design in a light-reflecting colour such as off-white or pale grey, while deeper shades will give a cosier feel to the room. And, don’t forget about adding accessories as well as books, with contrasting or complementing pieces perfect for providing interest to your shelving.

Our tall painted bookcases should be anchored against the wall to prevent them from falling over, while the small freestanding bookcases can benefit from having a gap around them, to create a feeling of openness.
