The Details
Bookshelves and Cabinets, Questions Answered
Storage, display and styling for living rooms, studies and majlis spaces.
Open bookshelf or closed display cabinet?
Open shelves make a room feel lighter and suit books you use. Glass-fronted cabinets protect collectibles, crystal and books from dust, which matters in Gulf homes where fine sand settles quickly. Many clients combine closed cabinets below with open shelves above.
How deep should bookshelves be?
25 to 30 cm holds most books. Display shelves for vases, trophies and larger objects need 35 to 40 cm. Deeper than that, books get lost at the back.
How do I style a bookshelf?
Mix vertical and stacked books, leave about a third of each shelf empty, and repeat two or three materials such as ceramic, brass and wood across the unit. Put heavier objects on lower shelves to keep the eye grounded.
Which display cabinet suits a majlis?
A glass-fronted cabinet or vitrine with internal lighting shows oud burners, dallah sets, crystal and awards while keeping dust out. Choose a finish that matches the majlis seating, with deep lower cupboards for hosting essentials.
Should a display cabinet have lighting?
Yes. Warm LED strips of 2700K to 3000K inside a glass cabinet lift the objects and make the piece a light source at night. Balance it with ambient room lighting so the cabinet does not become the only bright point.
Freestanding or built-in?
We make freestanding pieces you can move between homes. For wall-to-wall built-in units, our sister studio Enzo Interiors handles custom joinery.
Are tall bookcases safe?
Every tall unit should be anchored to the wall, and ours come with anchoring hardware [confirm installation in the UAE]. Load heavier items low and keep solid wood shelves under 80 cm wide to avoid sagging.
What is a bar cabinet?
A cabinet built to store glassware and bottles, often with a mirrored interior, stemware racks and a surface for pouring. It suits living rooms and entertaining spaces where a full bar is not practical.
How do I create a reading corner?
