Leaning Ladder Bookcases

The leaning ladder bookcase has been in fashion through 2008 and is still making a strong impression in homes with large, unadorned walls. This relatively light piece of display furniture has been adapted to a variety of uses. This weeks furniture decorating spotlight focuses on leaning ladder bookcases, desks, and entertainment centers.

Crate & Barrel Leaning Bookcase

One of the most popular selections in leaning furniture is the Sloane series by Crate & Barrel. This production of bookshelves, computer desks, wine bars and entertainment centers create solutions for any room. Available in dark and white lacquer finishes, this attractive unit is the perfect addition to an accent wall in your home. Experiment with a different wall color to add more contrast to the bookshelves themselves.

The leaning bookcases also feature a desk design that incorporates a laptop work surface. This should be especially appealing to minimalists, although it is admittedly inconvenient to any form of serious hardware or computer work.
