Size

Before starting your own diagonal bookshelf, you should first determine the size of the bookshelf that you want to build. The size of the bookshelf will depend on the number of books that you want to store on it. You should also take into account the size of the room in which you plan to put the bookshelf.

Type of books

When considering the size of your bookshelf, you should also take into account the type of books you will be storing. This will determine the size of the diagonal compartment for your books. For example, if you plan on storing large hardcover books, you will need a larger diagonal compartment than if you were storing smaller paperback books. Keep this in mind when choosing the size of your bookshelf.

Location

Before embarking on your diagonal bookshelf project, it is important to decide where you will put it once it is complete. If you are planning on putting it in the living room, make sure to measure the space and ensure that you have enough room. If you are putting it in your own room, consider where it will look best and how it will impact the flow of your room.

If you want the bookshelf to be a focal point in the room, you should build it to be larger. If you have limited space, you may want to consider a smaller bookshelf. Once you have decided on a location, you can begin planning your project.
