ONE SHELF, 3 WAYS
September 18, 2016
Often times, my wall shelves magically rearrange themselves. Does that happen to you? While I have failed to figure out what causes this unexplained activity, I sure enjoy this phenomenon. (which I have ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with, in case you were wondering.)
Here are my 3 favorite ways to style shelves.
Here are my 3 favorite ways to style shelves.
1. THE PLANT SHELFIE
I wrote an entire post about my Plant Shelfie here. The vertical shelving gives you so much more room to fit plants. And no one can deny that plants add so much life to a room.

2. THE LIBRARY
Bring all your books and decorate a bookshelf with what it is usually associated with - books. I love reading, I love buying books, and they are one of my favorite things to hoard. I grew up in a family surrounded by books. My grandfather is a published author, and he is always writing or reading. My mom has her own collection of books, and occasionally writes for local publications. One of the reasons I keep books around is because it reminds me so much of my mom, my childhood, and my family.
3. THE ECLECTIC SHELF
This is my favorite kind, and also the go-to formula for designers and stylists. Layer in books, plants, accessories and art and you've got yourself an eclectic shelfie.

Lovely post, Vin! I was about to say 2, but then I realized my shelves always have more than books. I love books, plants and accessories - in this order :) - so I will say 'eclectic'. Mx
ReplyDeleteThanks M! I think I like eclectic too - the best of everything :)
