Installing Bookends: A Step-by-Step Guide

When it comes to installing bookends in a large space with multiple rooms, such as four bedrooms and a long hallway, the process can be time-consuming. In this article, we'll take you through our experience of installing bookends in our home and provide tips on how to make the process smoother.

The first step was to remove the baseboards, which required some effort with a crowbar and utility knife to prevent paint peelage. We also had to sweep and vacuum each room thoroughly before starting the installation to ensure the subfloor was free of dust and dirt.

As we began installing the bookends, we realized that there were many non-laying-floor activities that needed to be completed along the way. These tasks, such as cutting boards shorter or thinner, can eat up a lot of time if not planned properly.

We found that having two people working together was much faster than doing it alone, and our installation process took us about 6 days from start to finish. On some days, we worked solo while on others, we had help. The key is to find your rhythm and stay focused on the task at hand.

In this article, we'll provide more details on how we handled transitions, cutting boards shorter or thinner, addressing the top of the stairs, and how long it all took. We hope that our experience will be helpful to anyone looking to install bookends in their own home.
