Bookshelf Artistry

We loved the books that we saw at Market - from old, leather, antique books to newer versions in their pretty pastel colors.


We've decided to give you a preview of several different styles of bookshelves - perhaps you can find just the one you like.

Very assymetrical look - perfect for built-in bookcases. Place your largest item on top with your focal pieces in the middle, with books hugging the sides.


Paint your bookshelves to make lighter items pop!



 Jumbled perfection look - lean plates and artwork at the back of your shelves and anchor them with books or heavier objects. Heights can be varied by stacking books horizontally and using them as platforms to display other articles of interest. Use different shapes and textures for added interest.

Have lots of collectibles? Intersperse them throughout your shelves or focus on one, such as the clock and let it be the focus of your attention.


Have fun designing your own special look!
