Since college, my trusty BILLY bookcases have been with me, surviving five moves and growing into a substantial collection with my husband. The only drawback? They’re all white. I’ve been craving a vibrant change, and now it’s here. IKEA has answered my call for color! 

Say hello to the new blue BILLY bookcase. This lively hue is available for a limited time and is currently offered in one size for just $59. Based on IKEA’s past limited releases, I don’t expect it to last long, so you’d better grab yours before I buy them all.

What Is the IKEA BILLY Bookcase?

The versatile BILLY bookcase, a favorite for inspiration-sparking hacks, is now available in a new colorful option. This slim particleboard bookcase measures 15.75 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 79.5 inches high. Its simple design blends with most aesthetics and includes one stationary and four adjustable shelves, each capable of holding up to 31 pounds, to accommodate various object sizes. You can easily customize it with glass doors, and a wet cloth makes cleaning simple.

Whether you need stylish and convenient storage or are just adding to your collection (like my eight BILLYs), this bookcase is a great choice. But don’t wait — this new colorway is only available for a limited time. Get yours now!
