TikTok Found The Coolest Vertical Bookcase (& It Saves Major Space)

Do you love your books like they are cherished friends? Pages filled with brave heroines and heroes and stories that transport you to new worlds, leaving you feeling warm and fuzzy? If you answered yes, you likely take your book storage seriously, wanting to display your reads to their optimum potential, Sometimes it feels like standard bookcases fall short, and while there are a variety of ways to show off your favorite novels, memoirs, biographies and more, TikTok might have the scoop on the most eye-catching bookshelf design. The DWR Story Bookcase is a book lover's vertical dream, with plenty of space to house your collection in a chic, sleek, modern way. This taller, slimmer option also saves space wherever you choose to keep it, and you can adjust the shelves to play with the finished result. 

The benefits and pros of this purchase speak for themselves: especially how simple it is to construct or assemble, but it does come with a steep price tag ($395). The 62 ½-foot high shelf features shelves you can add and stack, which also swivel if you don't want your books one on top of the other from the floor to where the anchor pole ends. Finding similar products online proves to be tricky. However, the investment is worth it if you consider how functional the unit is. Vertical storage is a great way to maximize space, so why not splurge to save (room that is)?

With more floor space, your room, especially if it's small, will feel more functional than with traditional shelves. This option is great for tiny homes and apartments or those that can't accommodate built in or standalone boxy shelves. You can still customize these vertical shelves, especially the top, but their purpose is for sleek, simple design that allows you to view your favorite books.

Because this unusual design doesn't leave much room for the option to decorate your bookshelf outside of the books you place on it, you might have to get creative. Add in your favorite titles, and maybe arrange them by color, or size (smallest at the top to largest), or use collectors editions and spines/covers that really speak to and about you. You can add a few small knick-knacks to the very top level of your books, just make sure these won't break if they were to get knocked over. Another creative way to decorate your bookshelf is to add tasseled bookmarks into some of your books so they hang down, bringing color and texture to the sides. If you don't want to fill every shelf with books, you can use a few to add keepsakes and decor, which also helps to break up the reads and adds negative space, which might make it easier to see covers etc. You can also rotate the shelves, so every other one sits on one side of the anchor pole or the other for more dimension!
