Solid Wood Bookshelves & Flat Pack Shelves
A solid wood bookshelf is a classic yet modern item found in Scandinavian design, and there are several great contemporary bookcases made of high quality wood to choose from, many of which are flat-packed and easy to assemble.

Modular Bookshelf Systems
For a fully customizable option, opt for a modular shelf systems unique to you.

String Furniture, a fairly new arrival to Batten Home and one of our favorites, offers a flexible bookcase system for the modern Scandinavian home, with pre-built bookcase configurations and an easy build-your-own tool so you can add exactly what you need. String offers wall-mounted shelves, free-standing options, and each element comes in multiple colors and finishes, providing a multitude of ways to display treasured decor like vases and sculptures. We love how String offers specialty elements, such as a compact Work desk for an office, a magazine shelf to style and display vinyl records, or drawers to store clothing in a bedroom.

Wall Shelves
Floating shelves and other wall-mounted shelves save floor space in smaller rooms while creating an illusion of weightlessness, and a great way to showcase your favorite books and objects. Many wall shelves––like the Ferm Living Cupe Wall Rack and the Kristina Dam Studio Curved Wall Shelf––serve as a sculptural art pieces without adding anything to the shelves.
