Why Choose Almara for Your Custom Shelving?

- A Perfect fit: Our built-in bookcases are meticulously designed to meet your exact specifications, ensuring an impeccable fit within your home. Freestanding bookshelves can be ill-fitting with awkward gaps and unsightly overhangs. A custom bookcase crafted by the team at Almara means a perfect fit for even the most awkward of spaces.
- Expert Craftsmanship: We use only the highest calibre materials and techniques in the construction of our custom shelving, ensuring durability that stands the test of time.
- Affordable Built-in Bookcases: Our built-in bookcases offer exceptional value. While a detailed measure and design will determine the final quote, we provide solutions that strive to meet your budget while exceeding your expectations in craftsmanship and design.
- An Endless Array of Styles: Our extensive range of custom bookcase design styles cater to diverse home aesthetics, from classic to contemporary. This versatility is achievable because of our unwavering focus on fully custom cabinetry.
- Expert Design and Installation: Our team of expert designers and installers will work closely with you to create the perfect built-in bookshelves for your Melbourne home. With over 30 years of experience, you can trust that you’re in good hands.
Design Considerations for Your Built-in Bookshelf

When you choose Almara to create a custom bookshelf for your Melbourne home, you unlock a world of possibilities and the expert guidance of an experienced and trusted team. Here are some key considerations to discuss during your design appointment.:
- Finish – 2 Pack vs Handpainting: Opt for a premium 2-pack paint finish or explore a high-quality hand-painted option from our partners at Purpaint. Both finishes offer unique benefits and aesthetics, with hand-painting providing a cost-effective yet beautiful alternative for your inbuilt bookshelf.
- Modern or Classic Design – Whether you envision an enchanted corner for your Hemingway collection or a sleek, modern display with clean lines, we can bring your vision to life. Custom shelving can complement both classic and contemporary styles.
- Shelf Depth: Consider what you’ll be storing. Will it be slim classics, oversized design books, or a mix of collectables? Customisable shelf depth ensures your built-in bookcases perfectly meet your needs.
