Bookshelves aren’t just for books. It is a great spot to showcase personal expression, a platform for unique treasures, and a critical design element in any home. Here is a few tips to help make your shelves look professional
Start with clearing off the shelves– styling is easiest when shelves are fresh and clean. This will help your reimagine the space and how to begin styling.
Decorate– Mixing books with decorative pieces provides more visual interest and is a fantastic way to display items of importance. An ornamented bookend paired with a curated stack of books can serve as a beautiful décor element. To create balance, leave open space on one side and add a small plant or picture frame to the top shelf.
Make it Personal– Showcasing personal collections or family photos on bookshelves help to tell your story. You can stack books horizontally and vertically to make room.
Leave Some Room– Less is more when it comes to bookshelves. The minimalist approach helps your special pieces shine. If you have more to showcase, maybe try seasonal approach and change things up often. Rely on classical principles like proportion, scale, and color theory to guide your eye to the right amount of stuff.
