Bookcases

Bookcases are a classic way to organize any room in an instant. A small, two-shelf bookcase makes a great nightstand in a bedroom that's short on storage space. A large, multi-shelf bookcase can stand against the wall of a living room and hold an entire library of books. Add a bookcase to the home office to hold printers, textbooks, and CD-ROMs within easy reach of the desk.

However you choose to use them, bookcases are ideal for any area that needs some extra storage. Choose a bookcase that is stained or varnished to match the rest of your furnishings, or choose one in a brilliant contrasting color to really make an impact.
