Most bookshelves are built without much thought into their placement in a room. The bookshelves are usually placed in a corner, so that it is hidden from view and doesn’t take up as much floor space.

Using a piece of art that you can paint or screen print, place it along the wall at eye level, using a pair of pliers to lift one of the plywood panels on either side to form a sturdy support for the art. Then, using two pieces of oak board cut to the same size as the plywood, begin to assemble the bookshelf into place. Using a drywall knife, smooth out any bubbles or lumps in the wood and press down firmly on the face frame. Use hinges to hold the two pieces of plywood together.
A fun interior decoration idea is to make a spiral bookshelf. To make this interior decoration idea work, begin by gathering all the necessary materials and tools. First, locate your bookcase in the upper corner of the room. Once you’ve located your bookcase, take out three small, thin, manageable sticks that are at least one inch in diameter. Lay these three sticks on the bottom of the wall you will be placing the bookshelf on, lining up three at a time according to how you plan to position the bookshelf.
Using a drywall knife, carefully cut out three separate slits in the top corner of the bookcase. The first slit should be positioned toward the middle of the bookshelf. Slide the knife through the bookshelf paper, creasing it as needed, and then carefully slide it out of the crease. The next slitted hole should be in the corner. Slide the knife through the plywood, creasing it again as needed, and then slide it out of the crease.
