What height do the bookshelves go up to for the best look/proportions? You can see the fireplace is basically a three-piece trim. ![]() Justgotabme that's exactly what I'm thinking of, and good to confirm that it would still look appropriate even though I don't have windows above the bookshelves. They'll be about 13" I think, which is an inch back from the little stub wall on the right.įor the top trim on the side bookshelves I was basically going to copy the fireplace trim but with just the two pieces visible, not three. I will not make them the depth of the fireplace, and can't anyway due to windows/trim. I think that would be a great consideration down the road though, and something we could add later. That would look great, except we have furniture close enough that the doors wouldn't quite open fully, which may be ok, but we also plan on placing books we are currentlyer ading along with a nice basket for daily used toys.

I've seen some shelves that are the same height as the fireplace mantle to make one big mantle but I find that it often looks oddly proportioned. Should I put the top of the bookshelves at one of those dimensions? It's about 42.5" to the bottom of the mantle trim, and 49" to the top. Looking at it now though, I'm worried that shelves to the bottom of the fireplace trim would be too low and out of proportion. I don't have the windows, but was thinking of doing something similar. ![]() My question is, what height should the built-in shelves be? Many homes around here have the shelves slightly below the height of the fireplace mantle, but often they have windows above. Also, the window on the left will be replaced with three windows of a unique pattern with craftsman trim like it was 106 years ago. We have a chair on order that will go in front of the current dark ikea bookshelves, and we'll be putting a large picture up above the mantle. ![]() I was thinking of shelves approximately the height of the fireplace, but I could maybe be convinced otherwise.
