There are many ways to do that which mostly depends on your living room size and amount of books you want to store there. You can simply use bookcases, wrap your TV in shelves with books, put books into a room divider if it has shelves or into a console table behind your sofa. Built-in shelves are a nice idea for any room if you want to save some space, open shelves usually look lightweight, which is essential for a small space, and glass armoires are another good idea to avoid bulky looks. If your bookcases are very tall, consider using a ladder to reach all the books easily. look for more ideas below and steal some of them for your home!
