Bookshelves can say a lot about who you are, your interests, tastes, dreams, travels and loves. Obviously books are the main purpose of bookshelves but you can create artwork in your bookshelf by styling it and showing off your personal treasures.
Some general rules to follow include:
1. Mix up shapes and sizes of your items on each shelf, large items and smaller items
2. Place books upright and flat to alternate them
3. Add photos, artwork, your own keepsakes or ornaments for that personal touch
4. Add different elements of colour and texture to keep it interesting
5. If you want some extra colour paint or use wallpaper in the backs of your bookshelves
6. Keep it uncluttered and simple
Here are some beautiful styled bookshelves for some inspiration
I hope that has given you some ideas for your own bookshelf, let me know how you go in styling yours.
