I don't know about you all, but I have a million "pretty things" that NEED to be displayed! ;) So many thrift store treasures! Lol
Keep on mind, this is not a bookshelf post but simple decor shelf ideas. However, you can incorporate a few of these ideas into your bookshelf, if you are inspired to!
Lately, I have been hesitant to blog because I would never want anyone to feel discontent or overwhelmed about their home, because of these ideas. My main goal is only to share my love of decorating with you and maybe to inspire you; never overwhelm you.
With that said: here is how I decorate my shelves to showcase my favorite pieces!
First I start with any books that I want on my shelves. I find it more interesting to lay them in different directions. You can even turn their spines towards the back for a more neutral look. But I love color so I leave the spines out!
Next I add any big pieces of art. These larger pieces add height and interest to the vignettes. (Vignettes= grouping junk together) ;)
And you all know I prefer to group my junk together in either 3s or 5s! Odd numbered vignettes are more pleasing to the eye!
After the art, I add items on top of or next to my book stacks.
Then I take any large decor pieces that I have and layer them in front of the art. This adds depth and textural interest to your vignette.
And the last thing I do is add in smaller items in front of the books and next to the large items. Because more is always best! ;)
You can easily do this with one shelf or many. You can also use these items to style a tabletop.
Now go hide all the books in the closet and pull out the pretty stuff! Kidding kidding!
There are Gorgeous ideas on Pinterest for styling bookshelves, if you are interested in that also!
Happy Sunday!
