Do you have a large space in your home that is begging to be decorated, but furniture doesn’t seem to fit and wall art isn’t quite enough? Consider adding a large bookshelf! A bookshelf is an artistic addition to any home. It adds dimension and a sense of sophistication to any common area, while being extremely functional. Use bookshelves for chic storage and to show off your personality and your favorite books. The key to having a stylish and functional bookshelf is avoiding clutter. Don’t put all your knick knacks on your bookshelf. Rather, apply the concept that “less is more” and show off the trinkets and books that are important to you.
Use dimension in your favor.
- For the most stylish bookshelf, you will want to add a variety of dimension. Avoid putting all of your books and knick knacks at the end of the shelf. Instead, layer them within in a shelf. If you have a deep bookshelf, use that to your advantage. Arrange your knick knack and trinkets on your shelf to create a 3D feel.
- For an easy way to add dimension, set different sizes and styles of framed creative pieces on your shelf. You will be showing off your favorite art and adding an aesthetic to your room.
Books, books, books.
- If you’re a bit of a bibliophile, you probably have a lot of books. You need to store them somehow. Don’t set all your books on the shelf randomly. To make a bookshelf feel organized and neat, place your books on the bookshelf by color and height. This will help your bookshelf look tidy and less disheveled.
- Avoid putting books on every single shelf. Rather, organize your books around other things on your bookshelf. You can still put frames and knick knacks on your shelf, but show off your favorite books near your other possessions.
Storage is still an option.
- Sometimes, there is a need for more storage. We all tend to collect stuff over the years that we don’t want to get rid of due to sentimental value. But, they can sometimes turn into items that don’t need to be displayed. For these sentimental possessions, storage is an option! Find cute, storage baskets for your bookshelf. They should be able to sit on your bookshelf without spilling over the edge. This is a cute, easy way to add storage space to your home!
