We have yet again another potential storage solution in the B Kube, a stackable storage solution from 5Lab that is made up of interchangeable squares that should offer the flexibility that people would need for their living space.

The B Kube is made up of modular pieces and can be stacked to the owner’s desire to blend in and offer varied storage solutions. This includes being able to design them in a way where a modern bookshelf can be easily produced, or can be even used alone as an ottoman or perhaps a TV tray table.

Above all, these cubes offer the needed storage solution for people to make sure that their clutter is properly stored and ending up with a sane home one can look forward to when he gets home.

Here is another one of those dual functioning home pieces. This is the Motion Bookshelf which can at the same time be used as well as a rocking chair of sorts. The bookshelf should be perfect for the bookworms or people who want to spend a large part of their time reading to relax.

The Motion was designed by Hyunjin Seo. Overall, the Motion is a curvaceous multi-tasking bookcase that also serves as a literary lounge chair. The bookshelf should be a wise option when it comes to properly storing your books and saving you some space as well since you don’t have to worry about placing separate chairs in the area.

The bookcase comes with slanted dividers which makes the whole thing a lot more odd and interesting and can even be made into a room divider due to its light weight. This sustainable reclaimed wood collection, designed by LDK, includes a golden plaque on each piece indicating the age and origin of the wood used. Looks like this could be a classy addition to any home eh, particularly the ones who are amazed at rare natural finishes as well as odd overall molds.

You don’t have to be a plumber or a Super Mario fan to place a pipe-like shelving decor in your home. And with the ingenuity of Dirty Bills from San Francisco, you can add these decorative Industrial Pipe Shelving in your home and get some organization and storage for your cluttered stuff.

They can be placed in any part of the home and come in three types of shelving units. There is the Sconce Bookshelves, the Pipe Corner Shelf and the Industrial Pipe Bookshelf. Each design comes with a unique design pitch and are suitable for small spaces to keep books on display without worrying about eating up too much space.

The shelves are fully assembled with screws for mounting them on walls. They are pretty much simple to install and all you need is to follow the instructions while arming yourself with a power drill and some screws to set them in place.

Here is something cheeky for people who want to show off some impressive decors for their homes. While the bookshelf could be of any make, add some book covers which when placed in a synchronized manner would render a pixilated looking finish that should spice up any home.

The idea comes from Igor Udushlivy who designed this one for people who have lots of books of the same size and shape. With the proper arrangement, home owners can produce a pixilated pattern via their bookshelves. Actually, the patterns can be downloaded and printed on paper and cut it according to the size of your book/s.

The idea should be a great home interior design initiative, particularly for people who have lots of books simply lying around.
