Each of us has a bookshelf, I am sure we always wonder how to style it and what decorative pieces to add to it. This post will show you the best practices for perfectly styled shelves.
1. Create little vignettes
Make books look special by lining up a few vertically on top of a horizontal stack. Or hang a small print behind another object, like a status. These groupings let your things shine.
2. Be thoughtful about your books
Try to add a bold vase or a greenery: It’s nice to see a different shape nestled among a row of books. Don’t go crazy organizing your books by colour, but I do like mixing hues that pair well, like pastel colours and white or orange and yellows. It’s pretty—and I promise, it will make you feel calm and organized.
3. Pretty Panache
Don’t forget the power of bookends when decorating bookcases! Use heavy, sturdy decor as a bookend to keep shelves neat and organized. Bookends especially come in handy for paperbacks and slimmer books, which are less likely to stay upright.
4. Functional Form
Decor shelves are great tools to keep a workroom organized. Slip magazine holders on open shelves to hold loose papers. Storage boxes conceal clutter and can be a bold color to look more exciting. Use decorative containers and flea market finds to finish off bookshelf decor and plant containers.
5. Art Focus
It’s hard to know how to decorate bookshelves with an eclectic style. When you have art pieces that have a variety of styles, they can all work together on a bookshelf, as long as colors coordinate. Sometimes having a piece which create a contrast to the all theme will attract the eye perfectly.
6. Think scale
