How to up your "Shelfie" game

Written By Staci Steidley, Design Principal

Do you know how to style shelves? How is your 'shelfie' game? This can be an overwhelming issue for a lot of people so here are some of our rules for styling shelves:

Plants: whether real or real-like, these can give a homey feel

Books: arrange in different directions or use to give height to other items

Art: sculptures or framed art (which can be displayed with a stand or mounted on the back of the unit)

"Party in the back": create depth by putting wallpaper (or contrasting paint color) on the back wall of the shelf

Whimsy: Put something fun, just to make you smile

Tip: mix texture, size, and tone of items while still keeping with the color palette...and have fun!
