Beyond Books: How to Style Your Bookshelf Like a Pro

Bookshelves are a great way to showcase your personality and style - we love a styled bookshelf to display favourite accessories! You can turn your bookshelf into a focal point that's both functional and stylish.

 

In this post, we'll show you how to style your bookshelf like a pro, using candles, vases, reed diffusers, and lighting!

 

  1. Add Some Mood Lighting

Lighting is key when it comes to styling your bookshelf. You want to make sure your books and decor items are well-lit and showcased properly. A simple way to add some mood lighting is to install small LED lights on the shelves, add a stylish light up accessory, or use some table lamps to add a cosy glow to the space.

 

  1. Play with Symmetry and Asymmetry

Symmetry is a classic approach to styling a bookshelf, but you can also play with asymmetry to create a more eclectic and interesting look. Try grouping decor items in odd numbers and varying their heights to create visual interest. For example, you can pair a tall vase with a stack of books and a small candle or reed diffuser.

 

  1. Use Decorative Objects to Add Personality

Candles, vases, and reed diffusers are all great decor objects that can add a touch of personality to your bookshelf. You can use candles to add warmth and scent to the space, while vases and reed diffusers can add colour and texture. Don't be afraid to mix and match different decor objects to create a cohesive look!

 

Styling your bookshelf doesn't have to be difficult or take a long time. By adding some mood lighting, playing with symmetry and asymmetry, and using decorative objects, you can create a stylish and functional bookshelf that showcases your personality and style. Grab your favorite decor items and get styling!
