How to Style a Shelf

Styling a shelf is more than just throwing books and decor together. It’s about adding the right variety of colour, texture, and height to visually appeal to the eye.

You want each shelf to be balanced and also vary slightly from the other shelves. For example, you don’t want every shelf to have three similar sized items lined up in a row. Aim to have some shelves with two items or groupings of items, some shelves to have three items, and some shelves to have just one large item.

By varying the formula and layout of each shelf, you’ll create a look that is visually appealing, but still cohesive.

Height is also another important element of styling these miniature vignettes. Try using all similar size items on one shelf, creating a horizontal line for your eye to follow.
