Home office with Sparring by Elfa bookcase in white under a sloping ceiling.

Bookcase under slanted ceiling or staircase

There is often unused storage space in unexpected places, such as under sloping ceilings or under stairs. With wall rails in different lengths and shelves in varying widths and depths, you can create smart and flexible storage solutions that maximise space.

Use the entire area

Create a place-built bookcase that’s perfect for your home. Let your creativity flow - place the wall rails at the right distance and cut the shelves to fit around obstacles. Like a built-in bookshelf around the door to maximise space and add a personal touch to your home.
