Bonus points if your reads are extra easy to grab without having to leave the sofa.

And if you anticipate that your collection is bound to grow quickly, no problem!

Wall shelves and baskets at kid-friendly heights are key!

Grouping books in color order makes this into an eye-catching display.

Choose one with glass doors so that you might easily find titles on a whim.

It’s also a wonderful way to repurpose an unused piece and give it new life through DIY.

Paint one a fun color, add an easy-to-read label, and you’re good to go!
