Bookshelves can be intimidating to style because there's a lot of space to cover which is why we're here to share a few of our go-to tips to keep in mind when styling your shelves. Whether they're built-ins or étagères like our Billie Rattan Bookcase, these foolproof tips will be sure to lay a road map for you!
2. Start with larger items first
Start with the larger items first such as decorative books and use those as anchor pieces to create smaller pockets for accessorizing. They're also perfect for stacking and creating different levels on the shelves which is important for visual interest. We've found this method helps compartmentalize the bookshelf, making the styling process more seamless and less overwhelming!
4. Add greenery
Don't be afraid to bring the outdoors in! Fresh flowers and greenery are a perfect way to add a bit of color & height to your bookshelves. We're big fans of blue & white and love using ginger jars as decorative vases.
