Will Ladder Bookcase Suit My Space?
Ladder Bookcases are bookcases shaped in the form of a ladder, with the upper part resting on the wall and the lower part about 18-20" away from the wall. They have a framed structure similarly to Etagere design.Materials for the structure and shelf base are also identical. And you can use it to showcase your small décor items along with displaying books. In short, ladder-type bookstands are a design variant of Etagere. They can be:
Foldable
Collapsible
Standing on legs
Movable with castors
Some ladder bookstands have closed cabinets in their lower part for storage.
The standard size is 72"H X 24.75"W X 16"D. Shelves are usually placed at about 12.75" height difference.
Ladder Bookcases will blend with interiors that are not heavy, static, or imposing. They are light and functional by nature, and they could be light or dark-colored.
They will connect with contrasting interiors, for example, a deep brown ladder bookstand will mesh naturally with ivory walls, bright floral curtains, a snow landscape hanging from the wall opposite the ladder.
