6 Tips for Decorating a Bookshelf

January 22, 2014 by

Bookshelves can be more than just a place to organize your library. The shelves can also double as a way to express yourself and your passions. Here are six tips to help you create a bookshelf display that's as unique as you are.

1. If you have a childhood toy or a memento from a vacation, place them around your books to make an interesting narrative. This will keep your display personal, while also creating a conversation piece.

2. Make sure that there is cohesion to your placement. Keep animal figures one shelf and flower vases on another for the best results.

3. Use an empty photo frame to bring color and shape to a bookshelf. Pick up a few old frames from an antiques shop, add a coat of paint, and you’ve got a great new look. Arrange a few frames together to create a bold focal point.

4. Placing mirrors along the backside of your bookshelves gives off a cool, modern vibe. It also deepens the look, make the room seem a bit longer and lighter.

5. If you have great pieces of artwork but are short on wall space, placing piece in between books can be an interesting way to dress up a room. Eyes will happily move between the books and the pictures, curious for what else to find.

6. Don’t forget about the top of the bookshelf. Utilize the top for bigger objects that won’t fit anywhere else, like paintings or sculptures.
