It used to be that every home had a bookcase even in a white farmhouse as part of black and white room decor. Technology has really modernized this. Some homes don't have bookcases in them just because a lot of people are switching to digital readers or they just want to focus on entertainment centers or a black storage ottoman. However, this is a great place to display decorative accessories as well as books. If you already have certain items in your room such as leather furniture, painted mantles, granite tiles, and brown accessories then a wood bookcase can really be the way to go. This is just a chance to get a very unique kind of design in a bold color. The great thing about these pieces is that they are large. This means that it is going to be the focal point of the room and can add architectural details into spaces that may seem a little bit plain like if it has white accents.
If you want an antique black bookcase style then you’re really going to want to go with more of a china cabinet look and pair it with white wall decor. This will include glass doors. This is also a very oversized piece. You can find old china cabinets at hotel liquidators or in surplus stores very inexpensively. Just the glass is really going to change things up. If you want to hide away books then consider frosting the glass for more of a contemporary vibe or the other option would be to put fabric or even paper behind the glass. This works well with more traditional living room sets. The color is really what is going to make it pop and so that things don't seem a little bit too bland.
If you have a black ladder bookcase then this really helps you create a lot of different design styles. The lines are very contemporary but you can also pair it with different accents for a traditional look. Of course you will need to make sure that these items are secure because it is using a stairstep design. The really great thing about this is that there is a lot of open space so that your room doesn't feel too heavy. With all of the storage solutions you need to check out the weight requirements. More modern bookshelves aren't made to handle tons of heavy books so you really need to know what your particular piece of furniture is capable of before you start stacking pieces on top of it. You can use this design with a lot of trendy items such as modern style lamps for a fashionable look that also has a little bit of durability to it.

If you want more of a contemporary black bookcase then you can keep it low to the ground. There is no rule that says that the pieces have to go all the way up the wall. This is also a great solution for smaller spaces. It also works well in kitchens or an office. It can even double as a bench. This is a great solution if you only have a few books that need storage.
Another option for a black bookcase cabinet is to turn it into a DIY project. You can really make it yourself just from an old dresser. You can find all different kinds of these plans online. The really great thing about this is that then you get the opportunity to really customize pieces that may be sentimental to you. You may just find an entirely new bedroom set and now you're stuck with a dresser that now you don't know what to do with it. This also mimics high end designer furniture that is sold for thousands of dollars but you can get the same look and still get something totally different than just a plain old bookcase.
If you're worried about the color then consider going with more of a combination. A good way to do this is with iron details. This can also contain a lot of scrollwork. This can be a way to store cookbooks in a kitchen with different coordinating black appliances or just a bistro kind of set. You will want to bring in another wood tone on this and just more iron accents to make it more French country, Tuscan, or Spanish depending on the accessories that you put in it.
