White furniture is all the rage right now, and I admit that I’m totally in love with the trend. I think white pieces make the space look brighter and cleaner, and they can be dressed up with lots of beautiful colors. White furniture goes with everything and really makes the space look more modern. I know that’s not everyone’s aesthetic, but personally I’ve always liked that color scheme.
I’ve been looking for a bookcase to add to our bedroom, because I wanted to put a few things away from the bedside table while still having them on display and within reach somewhere else. That’s when I stumbled upon Way Basics Kensington, a 5-tier shelving unit that can be easily assembled at home without the use of any tools. You literally don’t need anything, not even the nails or adhesive, and the entire assembly can be done using your bare hands. I am a small girl, and I had no issues assembling my unit. Took me about 30 minutes total, because I kept re-checking with the manual to make sure I get it right on the first try.
The material is very light, and if I remember correctly, the shipping container my shelf came in weighed only 10lbs or something. That’s mainly because Way Basics Kensington bookcase is made of eco-friendly zTube paperboard. The latest in sustainable construction, zTubes help connect paperboard rods to shelving boards made with safe VOC and formaldehyde-free material.
Why am I writing about shelves on a beauty blog? Well, with Black Friday and Cyber Monday coming up, I figured you guys might want to explore some options other than makeup. Besides, I think Way Basics Kensington bookcase is actually a great way to store your makeup, skincare, and brushes all in one space and within reach. I couldn’t decide for the longest time whether I should keep it in the bedroom or move it to my beauty room, because it’s just so perfect, so maybe I will grab another one.
Right now my Kensington is on sale on Way Basics website, but their furniture is also available at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Amazon, and other big retailers.

Very nice! Clean and bright and modern! My bedroom looks like the Ritz Carlton with mostly antiques. But I love that wire basket that you have for your skincare items. Where did you get that?
I got that basket from H&M. I don’t think it’s sold right now, but they often have similar designs with straight wires. These baskets come in silver and rose gold, too!
Thank you, Anastasia! I’m going to go & see if I can find one. I need something to put my most used skincare tubes in. Great idea 💡
I love how organized everything is and it looks like the plant is very happy where it is.
I love the organization & clean lines/color selections. We don’t really have a color theme – I would love to hire someone (interior decorator) to take care of all that. Combining my house into his place kind of left us with a mish-mash theme. 🙂
I’m a white furniture person. My bedroom is mostly white and light gray so I can easily add any cool color in decorating. This shelving unit would fit in perfectly!
I had white furniture for so long, I switched to black. What a nice kitty mommy you are to provide such a nice resting place for Luna!
That’s a nice, simple piece of furniture. White does not go with my color scheme at home though so I can’t partake in the trend right now.
I am so obsessed with this trend. Your set up is GORGEOUS!!! Simply stunning photos girl!
I love the clean sleek look of white furniture. Your space is beautiful!
I never really got into to white trend, but then I have young kids at home so nothing would stay white. This looks like a lovely setup though!
I’ve never had a coordinated bedroom…a passed down piece here, half a collection there…white would look fantastic and clean in the bedroom especially
I would love for my house to be as white and fresh as yours looks!
I have clean/neatness envy of your house!! haha It’s lovely!
Luna is the star! You have lovely style, your home looks so fresh and airy.
Your space is gorgeous! My house is a weird mix of neutrals and brights that makes me very happy 🙂
This looks like a nice, simple shelving solution.
omg your space is AMAZING! So clean and crisp
I would love it more if it came with the cat!
What a cute setup! Mine is pretty much a natural disaster with stuff just kind of everywhere
I love this unit. I have a more dark wood and modern low furniture look but white is always a perfect go to
This all looks so clean and fresh, I love it! x
I love white furniture, it’s so clean and fresh and I feel like it invites me to play more with color. I live in a ’60s ranch house with a lot of ’60s and ’70s flair, so we go for mid-century modern pieces and colors. I also have a lot of red kitchen appliances for some reason.
That bookcase looks lovely! I’d never be able to keep mine so neat though 😛
Your storage is beautiful! So nice and organized. I need to get myself together like this!
