As we go deeper into this quarantine, many of us are struggling to find ways to entertain ourselves this summer. This year we have all unwittingly found ourselves spending large amounts of time in our homes. Looking at the same boxy arrangements everyday can be boring, especially if you’re working in the same space.

Whether large or small, there are many ways in which you can change and dress up your home on your own. One of the best, and easiest ways to truly add a fresh look to your room is by adding in a new bookshelf. Buying bookshelves can be expensive; building them on the other hand is both cheap and is a much more productive way when it comes to using up your free time!

The following bookshelf ideas are sure to create a new atmosphere within your space and that you can make yourself for under a $100!
