I am participating in the One Room Challenge currently and working on updating my tween son’s bedroom. You can check out how cool his space is turning out here.

Part of the update to his room was adding an arched bookcase for an elevated storage look. I wrote a blog post all about How to Style an Arched Bookcase here.

Today I wanted to share some of my very favorite arched bookshelves because there are some really gorgeous options out there (This arched storage cabinet comes in blue and green – so pretty!). But before we dive into them, let’s quickly talk a little more detail about the arch bookshelf!

Arched bookshelves

Arched bookshelves are a stylish and versatile storage option that can add a touch of elegance and character to any room. The curved top adds a softer look compared to a more traditional rectangular bookshelves. And having open shelves also makes it feel more spacious.

What materials do arched bookshelves come in?

Arched bookshelves come in a variety of materials – including wood, metal, and rattan.

They can be freestanding or built-in, and can be found in a wide range of colors and styles to suit any taste.

How to pick an arched bookshelf

When you are trying to decide if a traditional shelf or an arched shelf would be a better option for your home, here are some things to consider –

• The size and scale of the bookshelf should be appropriate for the room.
• The style of the bookshelf should complement the overall style of your décor.
• The material of the bookshelf should be durable and easy to care for.
• Consider how you will use the bookshelf. If you plan to display heavy items, you will need a bookshelf with sturdy shelves.
• Do you want doors on your shelf? (This doored arch bookcase is gorgeous!)

Best Arch Bookshelf

An arch bookshelf brings a touch of elegance and architectural interest to any room with its curved top. This design softens the straight lines typically found in furniture, creating a visually appealing focal point for displaying books and décor. Available in various materials (this dark walnut arch bookcase is my favorite) and sizes, an arch bookshelf can seamlessly blend with different interior styles, from classic to modern.

There are so many great arched bookshelves available these days. Here are a few of my very favorite ones.

How to build an Arched Bookshelf

Building an arched bookshelf can be a rewarding project, but one that is certainly a more complicated DIY.

Make sure to take your time creating a plan, follow your plan carefully and enjoy the process!

I have seen many people take an existing rectangular bookshelf and add arches to the top to create the look of an arch bookcase. This is a fun way to get the look for much less effort.
