One of the fashionable trends today is to use the window sill. Just keep in mind that using it instead of a bookshelf is fraught with blocking the path for natural light into the apartment, so it is better to avoid massive publications.

Another option is to use the space under the stairs, if you don’t have one. As a rule, this space is empty, but in vain: here you can easily sit on a small sofa with a book in your hands.

A shelf for your favorite literature can be nailed to the wall right under the steps.
