ALL SQUARE

Make a departure from the usual full-to-bursting bookshelves by spacing books out and leaning them at different angles for a more contemporary look. Keeping the box shapes regular also creates a modern finish. For similar shelves, try the modular Billy bookcase, £114, Ikea, ikea.com. The Conran Shop,

conranshop.co.uk, has the Le Corbusier chaise longue by Cassina in a choice of finishes, from £3,042.
