How to Style Your Shelves Like an Expert
Hey there, its Sara from Twelve On Main. I am back today with one of my most favorite subjects: Styling Shelves.
Styling any kind of shelf can be a daunting task. Did I add too much" Is there not enough" Does everything coordinate and make sense"
It can be common to over style shelves as well as under style them. I?m here today to give you a few tips on how I style my shelves like an expert.
Before I start styling my shelves, I think about what I want them to look like when I am finished.
Are there certain colors I want to maintain"
Do I have any collections I want to feature"
Do I want to add baskets for organization"
Recently I remodeled my master bedroom and we installed a large section of built in shelving, as well as 2 window seats. I was quite overwhelmed with the idea that I had to style all these shelves.
So I answered a few of my questions. Yes, I wanted to keep the colors neutral with whites, tans, beige, as well as black and navy.
I wanted to add my collection of salvaged antique pieces that I had collected over the years. I also wanted to add books (obviously) and I collected books that I had that consisted of those colors.
I also had a collection of white pottery that I wanted to use.
So, as a general rule of thumb, I like to gather up all those things I want to include in my shelving and set it all out together on the floor. I separate it into categories of books, baskets and wooden boxes, greenery...
