Narrow Bookshelf Ladders and Towers

Whether you're decorating a bedroom, living room or home office, bookshelves are one of the most important furniture items to include. These versatile shelving units can hold everything from books and movies to beautiful decor items that tie the room together. For organizing small spaces, skip the regular-sized bookcases and shop the narrow bookshelf collection from west elm. Narrow ladder shelves and towers can store and organize plenty of clutter but only take up a very small amount of your floor space.

Ladder Bookshelves

One of the most interesting narrow bookshelf options is the ladder bookshelf. These units have the same basic look of a construction ladder, but with a style upgrade to make them suitable for home decor use. Leaning ladder bookshelves are available in various color options, but all share many of the same design properties.

• These units include five fixed shelves that are equally spaced along the length of the ladder.
• For stability, the shelves must be attached to the wall. Anti-tip kits are included for fastening.
• These units feature sturdy, solid wood frames and shelves. Each shelf can hold up to 75 pounds.
• Color options include semi-gloss black, espresso with white accents and stone with sand accents.
• They also come finished on all sides so they can be placed anywhere and look great from every angle.
• Ladder bookshelves are useful on their own but can also be placed on either side of a media console for living room storage. They also pair beautifully with ladder shelf desks for extra storage space in home offices.

Bookshelf Towers

If you're unable or prefer not to attach hardware to your walls, freestanding bookshelf towers are another great option. With their slim profile and ability to stand independently, they can be strategically placed in small spaces in bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens or any other living area. Like the ladder shelves, these towers are available in a wide selection of color options.

• These units include five to six evenly spaced, fixed shelves. The flat, spacious shelves are perfect for books, picture frames, decorative storage baskets and much more.
• Some towers also include a cabinet to hide away any clutter.
• Many units are crafted of a mix of wood and metal. These two-toned shelves come in white with antique brass accents or dark walnut with antique bronze accents.
• Other shelves have an industrial-style iron frame with a brass, gunmetal or antique bronze finish.
