My Experience With Making An Invisible Bookshelf

One day, while browsing through Pinterest, I stumbled upon a picture of an invisible bookshelf. I was intrigued by the idea of having my books floating in the air and it looked like a fun DIY project to try. So, I decided to give it a go and make my own invisible bookshelf.

What is an Invisible Bookshelf?

An invisible bookshelf is a clever way to store your books that creates the illusion of them floating in the air. It is made using a simple L-shaped bracket that is mounted to the wall, with the bottom part of the bracket hidden by the book cover, creating the illusion that the bookshelf is invisible.

Step-by-Step Guide for Making an Invisible Bookshelf

Choose the size of the bracket based on the size and weight of the books you want to display.
Locate the studs in the wall where you want to hang the bookshelf.
Mark the location of the bracket on the wall and drill pilot holes for the screws.
Attach the bracket to the wall using the screws supplied with the bracket.
Slide the bottom of the book onto the bracket, making sure it is flush against the wall.
Stack more books on top of the first one, making sure they are evenly spaced and secure.
