I love Open Bookshelves! I think these shelves totally blend in any room and create a light and lofty feel to the room. Open shelving makes it easy to mix and match your memorabilia along with your books. The visible wall creates an open feel, hence objects on the shelve look more natural. Not only your collections, but a basket or a bowl will nicely blend in-between your books - which at the same time creates additional storage space for toys, blankets etc.,. Remember, to bring in the right balance when you mix objects and books and do not clutter your shelve with too many objects. Try to keep it simple so that you can access to your favorite books easily.
You might be able to customize open shelves to the dimensions of your room. You might even be able to use them to divide your room into more specific areas - zone your living space from the dining room as seen in the example here.
Finally, open bookshelves seem to take less space in a room, even though, closed shelves are only a few inches deeper.... Do you agree with me?
