PROFESSIONAL BOOKENDS FOR EVERY HOME
Bookends are pieces that are usually utilized to support rows of books and keep them upright by placing the bookends at either end of the book rows. The major feature of bookends is that they have to be tall, heavy, sturdy enough to stay put, and, in turn, keep the row of books in an upright position. They have to prevent the books from falling over. However, that does not mean that bookends cannot have a flair to it or that you cannot express your design choices or creativity through bookends.
Bookends can be available in various shapes, sizes, colours, and materials. They can be more than just a dull and boring prop in an unnoticed corner of your house. They can be a statement piece that caters to your taste or complements your room decor to give your bookshelf a cohesive look with the rest of the room.
How do bookends stay in place?
Bookends hold their place by virtue of their weight and gravity. Simple L-shaped bookends are designed in a way that they use the books’ weight to keep the bookend fixed in its place. In other instances, bookends might have rubber pads on the bottom, which prevent them from sliding away.
Custom bookends
While there are many interesting options available when it comes to purchasing bookends, one might still not get the same option they had in mind. In case you want a specific bookend for your fantasy-themed bookshelf but it is not available in the desired motif or colour or does not exist ready-made, you can turn to a custom bookend-making service. Bookends aren’t just a piece of furniture for some people but an emotion. These are the people for whom the books hold utmost significance. If you have been a bookworm all your life and want to make sure your books are stored in a good condition, you must invest in a bookend.

How to choose bookends ?
Which bookend will suit you depends on a number of factors such as how often you take your books off the shelves, whether or not you intend you use the bookend pair as a set or separately, and your style and aesthetic as well as the look of your library, reading room, or drawing-room.
- Weight, size, and capacity: While selecting a bookend, the buyer has to consider the size of the books in relation to the bookend. It also depends if the books on your shelves are paperbacks or hardcovers. You would need heavier bookends for the latter, while lightweight bookends would work for the former. Another factor is the capacity of your bookshelf to carry the weight of heavy books. If you have a flimsy shelf and intend to keep heavy books on it, repair it first and make sure it is properly hung.
- Material: The bookend material is a key that decides how heavy it will be. For example, wooden bookends would be lighter than metal or stone ones. But material matters in maintaining aesthetics too. Depending on the decor style of the rest of the room, you should choose the material of your bookend to compliment it. For example, glass or metal bookends complement a modern, sleek and minimalist decor.
- Style: Before shopping for bookends, you must study the look of your room carefully to think what type of bookend style would go with the vibe and look of your room. For example, pink unicorn bookends would look out of place in a traditional, antique-style library.
