Heritage Black Two Tier Wooden Bookshelf

£189.90

Sharp X-shaped panelling and a matte black finish make this two-tier bookshelf a characterful addition to a living room or study. Books and decorative objects pop against the dark backdrop in a way that lighter-finished shelving simply doesn’t allow.

There’s a satisfying geometry to the X-panel detail that runs between the sides of this bookcase — it gives the black-finished pine and MDF frame a visual rigour that plain-sided shelving doesn’t offer. In a darker room it reads as quietly dramatic; in a light-filled space it provides a graphic focal point without overwhelming the décor.

Two open shelves make short work of a growing book collection, and the dark finish means colourful spines, trailing plants and pale ceramics all look striking against it. It suits everything from a moody reading room to a Scandi-influenced living space with pale walls and warm wood accents.
