Frequently Asked Questions About Bookcases with Doors and Glass Shelves
What are the benefits of a bookcase with glass doors and shelves?
The perfect balance between a bookshelf and a display cabinet: glass shelves that let light pass through between levels and doors that protect against dust without obscuring the view. The contents remain visible and well-lit from top to bottom—something wooden shelves don’t allow—and cleaning goes from weekly to monthly thanks to the doors.
What should you keep behind glass doors?
Things you want to display but not clean every week: glassware, collections, porcelain, valuable books, heirlooms. Open shelving is especially flattering for glass and light-colored ceramics, which receive light from above and below. Everyday items and less attractive objects are better suited for closed storage in another room. We’ve compiled some design tips on how to decorate shelves.
How do you clean a glass-fronted bookshelf?
Oak frame treated with a wrung-out damp cloth and natural oil once a year; glass doors and shelves should be cleaned by applying glass cleaner to the cloth—never spray it directly inside the cabinet. When cleaning the glass shelves, remove the items and, when replacing them, make sure each shelf sits firmly on its supports.
Where should I put a glass-fronted bookcase in the living room?
Anywhere that receives light without constant direct sunlight: the beauty of glass is that it enhances brightness, not that it traps heat. Placing it in front of or diagonally across from windows works well; flanking the TV stand creates an audiovisual wall with points of light. Matching solid oak TV stands complete this arrangement. The oak we use is solid, FSC-certified, and manufactured in Europe.
A glass-fronted bookshelf or a traditional display case?
A glass-fronted bookshelf is lighter and more modular; a display cabinet is more of a statement piece designed to serve as the focal point of a room. If you’re looking for a classic, substantial piece for the dining room, wooden display cabinets fill that role; glass-door bookshelves are a better fit for modern living rooms that call for a lighter look.
