A contemporary black library
The black bookcase has a reputation for being imposing – especially when compared to the white bookcase, which stands out for its lightness. We would therefore tend to avoid it, in particular when fitting out a small apartment. In reality, it all depends on its design. To adopt the black bookcase while maintaining lightness in the living room, we favor a contemporary model, with clean lines.
Iconic, the Billy bookcase from IKEA! We love it for its minimalist Scandinavian design, which allows it to find its place in all interiors. We love it for its ability to evolve according to our needs, since it is easy to combine several elements to create a corner or linear bookcase in XXL format. A sure value!
The Iconic bookcase from Temahome has a very trendy two-tone oak and black look. This model is particularly attractive for its functionality, since it has generous storage space.

Who said you had to give up the library to create a small living room? With its slender silhouette and compact format, the Molly model spotted at Drawer adapts perfectly to small spaces. A chic and practical bookcase, with its closed storage in addition to the shelves!
The Layer bookcase from Cider Collection is characterized by a thin, yet sturdy structure that allows it to be used as a room divider. It has another nice feature: the upper part is fully modular, and you can choose the storage space best suited to your needs.
Sustainable home and design are far from being incompatible concepts: proof with the Chloé shelf from Resistub! Made from recycled (and recyclable) steel, it is entirely welded – which gives it great robustness. We love its rounded corners and the alternation of solid and empty areas, for a look that is both very contemporary and full of softness.
Very chic minimalist inspiration for the Leiria bookcase from Alinea! Although it displays a delicate and almost airy graphic look, its trays nevertheless allow you to store a maximum number of books.

With its Thura range, Sklum offers black bookcases with shallow shelves and an airy structure: a format particularly well suited to small spaces. The wall-mounted model is also quite clever for using a passage space such as the entrance or landing, or for creating a reading corner under the stairs.
The Barlington mango wood bookcase from Loberon seduces with its versatile character: sublime in a rustic interior, it can also become the highlight of a neo-ethnic living room. With its numerous niches, it can easily be diverted into storage for dishes in the kitchen or dining room.
A stylish black bookcase
The classic chic bookcase does not lack scale, especially when it is available in black: on its own, it is enough to set the tone for the decor of the living room. To accentuate its elegance, combine it with a velvet sofa. If you want to let it take center stage, opt for a more sober model, like the linen sofa.
The Manoir black solid wood bookcase from Interior’s has a patina which gives it a particular charm.

At Robin des Bois, the black bookcase is openly inspired by the apothecary furniture of yesteryear. Displaying the look of a real piece of professional furniture, it finds its place in a rustic interior as well as in a loft decor.
The Lipstick double bookcase from La Redoute also draws its inspiration from professional furniture. Although the lines take up the design of a large apothecary cabinet, they are slightly refined. This large bookcase is also characterized by a generous height: enough to have XXL space to fit as many books as possible or display pretty decorative pieces.
