How to: Arrange Your Bookshelves

The easiest way to create interest on your bookshelves is to stack some books horizontally.  Leave voids and use a pile of three heavy books or a substantial accessory as a book end. Don't make the bookshelves symmetrical, but leave alternating spaces open to achieve a balanced look.
"Shop" your cupboards to find your favorite platters and bowls to add to your display of books and photos.


Use books as platforms to raise and highlight smaller accessories or photos.
Hide small objects, clutter and paper in decorative baskets.
Don't mix hard bound books with paperbacks, display them separately.
