Our top 3 tips for beautifully arranged bookshelves!
If books aren't referenced regularly, forget alphabetizing and organize by color instead. I’m a big proponent of color-coordinated books.
They are so pleasing to look at and we look at them every day, which far outweighs the 30-seconds longer it may take to find the one you want, which only happens on occasion.
It's calming and pleasing to the eye (and makes a great Zoom background too).
You do not need to fill in every inch of your bookcase with something.
Consider the empty space a breath before you start the next thing - we need to breathe and so do our bookcases.
Fight the impulse to angle decorative items toward the center of the room.
It will look more sophisticated with items facing straight out from the shelf.
Happy Designing!
