Fireplaces give a unique design statement to your home. For ages, people have used fireplaces for multiple purposes. Rather than just warming up the living area during the winter season, fireplaces also serve the purpose of adding a unique design to the interior space of your home.

Contemporary electric fireplaces also add a certain amount of visual appeal to your home and help the area look a lot better with everything in place. Besides the fireplace itself, it can serve you well to have a couple of bookshelves on either side of the fireplace. These shelves accentuate the electric fireplace itself and add a lot more to the room.

In this article we look at some of the best fireplaces with bookshelves on each side. You can replicate these designs in your own home for visual brilliance.

1. Christmas Themed

This Christmas themed fireplace with bookshelves on each side looks amazing to the eye and has an incredible, vibrant presence. We love the rustic appeal of the bookshelves and how you can place plenty of books in the excess space available on both sides of the grand fireplace.

2. Straight Out of a Greek Court

With two pillars of justice standing tall, books positioned in the right order and a fire burning in the apex, this particular design takes you straight to a traditional Greek court of the days gone by. The traditional look only cements this perspective further.

3. More Contemporary

This fireplace with bookshelves on both sides has a more contemporary feel to it. We love how the room itself serves a more contemporary look, but the pale blue color of the bookshelves and the dusk brown of the fireplace create a transitional design.

This electric fireplace is surrounded by a bookshelf on both sides. Bookshelves happen to increase the aesthetic appeal of a fireplace and make it a lot more visually pleasant to look at. We also love how the books have been set on the bookshelves. Aesthetic placement can make a bookshelf look even better.

This electric fireplace has been carved to perfection with bookshelves on both sides. The bookshelves look freshly carved, which is why they haven’t yet been decorated to perfection. We love the uneven rows that allow you to innovate how you keep books inside the shelves.
