How to Style a Bookshelf

I’ll be doing a full home office reveal hopefully soon, but it’s not 100% complete just yet. For now, I wanted to share how I’ve styled our new bookshelf from Home Decorators Collection. I hope you enjoy and get inspired to redecorate your own.
1. Add Pops of Color: Since I tend to gravitate toward cooler colors, I chose pops of green and blue. I absolutely love the blue Sun Beached Denim candle from DW Home. It smells like fresh laundry and helps add some color to my otherwise white bookshelf. I also added a blue ocean print that I painted, and a blue bowl holding green decorative apples.
3. Add Personal Touches: I added a memento from our honeymoon, a snow globe my dad had personalized for me, and the folder my college diploma came in. You could add a wedding or family photo, collectibles or a gift from a loved one.
5. Mix up Book Placement: Try a mix of vertical and horizontal arrangements. As you see in the photos, my cookbooks are horizontal and the rest of my book collection is vertical. By switching up the book placement, the bookshelf looks more interesting and unique.
