Most bookcases you'll find in stores or online have a standard depth of around 12 inches. But, is that really the ideal depth for your books? Think about it, some books are super thin, while others are like massive textbooks that take up way more space.
So, why 12 inches, you ask? Well, it's likely because it's a good compromise between being able to fit average-sized books and not taking up too much floor space. But, what if you have a ton of oversized books or decorative items you want to display?
Imagine your bookcase as a tetris game – you want to fit as many books as possible without overcrowding the shelves. A deeper bookcase would give you more flexibility, but it might also make the whole thing look bulky and awkward.
