10 Arched Bookcases to Fill Your Home With Cool Curves

For the last few years, arches have been ‌everywhere‌. From doorways to DIY mirrors to staple furniture pieces, like bookcases and chairs, they've taken over the design world — and probably your Instagram feed too.

But the timing is no coincidence. Lexi Brandfon of Brooklyn-based design firm Lex & Hudson suggests they're a result of a new home perspective sparked during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I think after COVID, people understood that homes aren't this rigid, perfect thing and gave themselves permission to layer and have more color and lines in a way they weren't doing before," she tells Hunker. "Arch shapes are trending because arches provide more visual interest and introduce a softness that a straight line can't provide."

One place where these softer lines are making a major appearance? Arched bookcases. "Many doorways are squared off, so having curves higher up toward the ceiling allows for a visual break along that plane, which is interesting and more alluring than the lines of a traditional or classic bookcase," Brandfon says.

Ahead, we've rounded up 10 arched bookcases in a variety of colors, styles, and price points to add curves to your home.

Turn to Urban Outfitters for any and all of your arched bookcase needs. Its Mason collection is brimming with functional options that range in size, color, and features.
