How to Make the Most of Your Bookcase

Posted on - 12th April 2021

Whilst bookcases can often be seen to fulfill a fairly simple function, they can be so much more than this is given the time. As popularised by Instagram and the countless home accounts breaking barriers online, bookcase styling has blown up. In today’s article, we’re going to discuss how you can turn one of our bookcases into the wow factor your home has been missing.

Colour Code Your Books

One of the more popular ideas to be showcased online recently, is to colour code your bookshelf. Not only does this help with organisation and tidiness, but it most importantly creates a striking image for those walking into the room.

Once colour coded, you can then look to either stack them in a spiral shape or load them in the traditional sense. Either way, your bookshelf will transform from blending into the background into a bold statement piece in the room. Not only is that impressive to look at, but you also have the bonus of each book being personal to you.

Start Adding Accents to the Shelves

Accents are extremely important to your interior design, given that they have the ability to draw attention to furniture in the room. In order to start making your bookshelf serve more of a purpose than simply housing your books, start to add accents to the shelves.

This could include anything from photo frames, figurines, lights and glass bowls. If this is the case, less is more. Too many additional items placed on the bookshelf could lead to it looking cluttered and crowded. However, a few tactically placed accents, could make all the difference in making your bookshelf pop.

Organise Your Library

Often, bookcases can come across as eyesores because they’re used as a dumping ground. If you wish to turn your bookcase into an attractive piece of furniture, it’s important to treat it like one. A good, easy first step is to simply make sure all of your books follow the same orientation. Books that are jammed into anywhere they will fit tend to make the overall aesthetic quite chaotic.

However, organising your books into size order, author’s surnames or even genres can transform it into your very own personal library. Simply knowing where everything is and having a method to the madness can transform your furniture.
