I have a wall which is approximately 2.3m high and 3m wide. I’d like to build a decent looking bookcase in this space and need your advice please.
This is the type of look I want to achieve. Less the doors.
Firstly which wood should I build this in? I want to eventually paint it white and be using a wood which will be easy to maintain i.e. if it gets damaged, I should be able to fill, sand and paint.
Also want to avoid expansion/contraction as much as possible.
Secondly, is it worth cutting shelves slightly short of the total depth available to allow light to flow from the top, down through all the shelves?
Thirdly, does this have trims stuck on the face of all the wood to create the wide aesthetic look?
Thanks in advance.
