Tips for bookcases
Stack books from big to small or mix it up.You could curate small piles of three or five books, which makes it easier to read the spines and locate a book when you need it.
Spread out each styled placement and don’t put all the same textures or colours together. For example, give brass, wood, and black tones room to breathe.
Bring a little life to your display with nature. Think trailing plants with delicate foliage. Choose plants that suit the amount of natural light the shelf receives – and don’t forget to water them!
Choose stylish statement speakers that tie in with your colour scheme and style.
Place a beloved curio on top of a pile of books to add some height where needed – it’s a charming way to bring everything together.
The key to keeping shelving simple and uncluttered, elegant yet uncontrived, is to include pieces you love that are also practical and functional. Cull to the minimum so there is no overcrowding.
Display favourite books and current magazines in a stylish magazine holder. Regularly edit your reads as trends change and your style evolves.
Settle in. If space allows, have a reading chair nearby so you can settle in, grab a book and enjoy some quiet time.
