Tree and Driftwood Bookshelves: How to Choose and Style Them

A sculpted solid wood tree bookshelf and a driftwood floating shelf with books and small plants on a warm plaster wall

Quick answer: Use a freestanding tree bookshelf where it can be seen from across the room, a wall-mounted driftwood shelf where floor space is tight and a corner tree for awkward corners. Anchor tall units to a stud and keep heavy books on the lowest branches.

Freestanding trees

A handcrafted tree bookshelf is storage and sculpture in one.

Driftwood on the wall

Corners

A corner tree bookshelf turns an empty corner into a reading nook.

For the bar

The same style comes as an illuminated tree wine rack.
