Bookcase PACO matte white and rounded niches KARE Design

The Bookcase PACO matte white and rounded niches KARE Design turns a simple wall into a vertical focal point. Standing 180 cm high, it works beautifully behind a sofa, beside an armchair or framing a TV zone in the living room. Its thick rectangular outer frame in matte white lacquered MDF draws a clean outline, giving clarity and calm to busy spaces. Inside this strong border, a constellation of rounded-arch compartments of different sizes invites you to combine books, small plants and cherished objects. The soft matte white finish reflects light gently, helping even compact rooms feel brighter. At 95 cm long and 32 cm deep, the bookcase remains easy to place in urban interiors, from a living area to a home office or even a generous hallway. PACO doesn’t just store your things; it organises the wall itself and encourages curated, personal displays.

Visual design and character

The PACO bookcase is defined by its strong architectural silhouette. A thick, perfectly rectangular frame in matte white MDF forms a clear, graphic border around the storage area. Within this frame, the shelves transform into tall, rounded-arch niches, some wider, some narrower, arranged in a subtly asymmetrical pattern. This play of varying heights and widths gives the façade rhythm and softness at the same time, avoiding any rigid grid effect. The matte white lacquer calms reflections, allowing the curves of the arches to stand out as shadows change through the day. At 180 cm high, the piece draws the eye upward, visually lifting the ceiling, while the 95 cm length keeps it compact enough for smaller rooms. The 32 cm depth provides a balanced profile: present, but not intrusive. Overall, PACO mixes strict geometry and gentle curves, creating a sculptural, contemporary presence on any flat wall.

Why choose this bookcase

• Thick matte white frame creates a bold architectural outline, instantly structuring empty walls in living rooms, offices or open-plan spaces.
• Asymmetrically arranged rounded niches provide varied stages for books, plants and objects, preventing monotonous rows and encouraging creative compositions.
• Vertical 180 cm format draws attention upward, ideal for emphasising ceiling height and giving small rooms a more generous, airy feeling.
• Neutral matte white finish pairs easily with beige, grey or colourful textiles, adapting gracefully as your decor and accent tones evolve.
• Compact 95 x 32 cm footprint allows installation in corners, along hallways or beside doors without visually crowding circulation areas.

Where this piece fits best

With its 180 cm height, 95 cm length and 32 cm depth, the PACO bookcase is particularly effective where a flat wall lacks relief. In the living room, place it beside a linen sofa or near a media unit to turn a bare section of wall into a curated display. Use the taller niches for art books and vases, reserving the smaller arches for candles or travel mementos. In a home office, position it behind your desk chair so video calls capture an organised, graphic backdrop instead of an empty surface. A wide hallway can become a gallery-like transition space by adding PACO along one side. For more layout options or coordinating pieces, explore our range in the modern shelf collection. In a bedroom, it works beautifully opposite the bed, storing novels and decorative objects while maintaining a calm, airy impression.

Long-term decorative harmony

To keep the PACO bookcase visually relevant over the years, treat its matte white architecture as a flexible canvas. The neutral frame welcomes evolving colour schemes, from soft Scandinavian palettes to richer, more dramatic tones. Start with beige or grey seating and natural wood tables; later, you can introduce deeper blues, greens or terracotta accents without clashing. The rounded niches allow you to rotate displays according to seasons or changing tastes: stacks of books one year, more ceramics or framed photos the next. Maintain coherence by repeating a few materials—such as light wood, glass and black metal—across several niches. The strict outer rectangle also pairs easily with other linear furniture, while the arches echo curved mirrors, rounded lampshades or soft-edged armchairs. Even if you move it from living room to office or bedroom, PACO’s calm white volume continues to link the different atmospheres of your home.
