Use Bookends as Floating Bookshelves


The way these floating bookshelves work is by using a bottom hardcover book to conceal the shelves. The end result looks like the stacked books are floating in midair.


You can buy an Umbra Concealed Bookshelf, which was invented by Pratt Institute student Miron Lior. They're easy to install, and you don't have to ruin your books.


Or you can make your own as a DIY project, which actually isn't as hard as it sounds.


Basically, you need one or two metal wall brackets. Screw them into your wall so that they're level with each other. Also make sure they're close enough together to hold the book you want to put at the bottom of the shelf.

eHow recommends spacing them four-and-a-half inches apart, like so:
Now you just have to pick a hardcover book to put on top of it. eHow suggests cutting two slits in the book jacket before fitting the book back into place — you can see the further instructions here.


If you want to avoid cutting holes in your book jacket, Caitlyn at Instructables recommends another tweak — you can velcro the back flap to the book's pages. That way, the bracket sits between the internal pages of the book and the back cover. The book is velcroed together so that the back flap doesn't hang down, and so that the bracket is concealed.
