Our Stylist Says
I love this bookcase for its sleek black finish and practical design, making it a versatile piece for a range of interiors from modern minimalism to industrial schemes. Its tall, slender profile maximises storage without overwhelming a space, while the two drawers at the base are perfect for hidden essentials or smaller items. Styling it with a mix of open books, decorative objects, or even houseplants can add visual interest, while the drawers help keep clutter out of sight. It works well as an accent piece in a living room, home office, or bedroom, and its neutral colour means it can easily complement a variety of colour palettes and decor styles. For a polished look, try pairing it with metal or wood accents to add texture and contrast.

Founded in 1964, Habitat are a renowned brand, and a go-to destination for modern and stylish furniture and home accessories.
In 1964, Sir Terence Conran founded Habitat in London, aiming to bring a fresh European touch to UK home decor.

Habitat grew swiftly in the UK during the 1960s and even crossed borders with its first international store in Paris in 1973.
The brand's journey through the decades saw various mergers and acquisitions, including its integration with Sainsbury's Group in 2017.
Habitat's innovation extended beyond products; they even launched a mail-order system in 1966 and initiated the concept of flat-pack furniture in 1971.
Celebrating its rich history, the brand marked its 50th anniversary in 2014 by collaborating with past designers and commissioning a special logo.
