Easy Tips for Organizing Your Book Shelves

Easy Tips for Organizing Your Book Shelves

I am always looking for more storage space! When I saw this cabinet/buffet at HomeGoods, not only did it look great, I knew it would also provide me with much needed storage. It is a classic piece of furniture that can be useful in multiple areas of my home. I also found this beautiful carved wood medallion at HomeGoods and I love the way it looks above the shelves.

I love to have flexible furniture pieces because I tend to move my furniture around a lot. For now it's in my family room. It will be fabulous for my collection of coffee table books. I want storage for my books, but of course I want it done in an appealing way.

I like to work with a clean slate, so the first thing I do is move everything off the shelves.

Next I add my books. I find that stacking the books vertically and horizontally adds interest. If you find that the book jacket colors look too busy, you can turn the books around for a uniform look. You can also stack books of the same color together. I donโ€™t like to cram the books in so I leave some space open on the shelves. 

Then the fun part, adding decor and art! Since itโ€™s spring Iโ€™m displaying โ€œspringtimeโ€ accessories. Since my books are colorful enough Iโ€™m keeping my decor accessories white and gold.  

For an unexpected surprise and to create even more interest I put in framed artwork. 

To decorate the top of the cabinet, I continued the book theme. A couple of matching lamps would also be pretty, but since I have a floor lamp right next to this piece I went with fresh blooms and plant stems for spring.

This functional piece of furniture will be fun to decorate seasonally! Now I have my book collection organized and displayed beautifully.
