A shelf cluttered with books and random paraphernalia can be an eyesore. But don’t fret, there are ways to turn a messy bookshelf into a living room centrepiece. Use these easy tips to organise and glam up your bookshelf.
Put some books standing straight up and others stacked lying down to keep it interesting.
Arranging your books by colour is an easy way to get that bookshelf looking great. For visual thinkers, organising your books by colour might be the easiest way to find what you’re looking for.
Add decorative objects like mementos and other curios that will give personality to your bookcase. A uniquely-designed bookend is extra practical too!
Include organic elements thoughtfully like a bowl of rocks or a tank of seashells. These little details give your shelves a dash of vibrancy.
