Whether you are a bona fide book worm or book shelves came with your Manhattan apartment, you’ll want to make the most out of your book cases. Read our tips for keeping them organized and looking their best:
• If the book cases in your San Diego home only feature a few scattered books, place picture frames, bud vases and other items on the shelves to add dimension and fill up the space.
• Select one color—if you aren’t afraid of color choose red or yellow—to tie everything together. If you have a red end table in the room, for example, tie in the color via a red picture frame and red vase.
• Paint the insides of your book shelves to add contrast and highlight the objects within.
• Even if you don’t have tons of books, place a cluster of books on each shelf.
• If you do have lots of books, arrange most of them vertically (to save space), but set up a few horizontal stacks to switch things up.
• Even though real estate might be at a premium, make sure to incorporate decorative items nonetheless. That goes with free space, too. Leave at least ¼ of each shelf free.
• If your book shelves house books and other forms of media, try not to display anything not worthy of display.
• Even if your book case is devoted to DVDs and other forms of modern media, add a few vintage touches for character.
