One of my most popular posts of years past was a bookshelf accessory round up and a client of mine alerted me that a lot of the links were dead/no longer available, so I updated the post to include some new fresh finds!
The key to successful bookshelf styling is to mix up the contents- small art, photographs, sculpture, boxes, trays– you name it. I even have a animal skull I found in the woods (and bleached, don’t worry) on mine under a cloche. Anything goes! Also, be sure to change the direction of your books from shelf to shelf (or even within the same shelf)- placing some stacked horizontal and others the normal orientation with bookends.
Thank you for sharing this. So many lovely options. Where can we see more of the room that you posted?
We are pitching this home now, so hopefully very soon!
My husband and I are big readers as are many of my design clients so I tend to fill bookcases primarily with hardback books sprinkling in framed pictures and artifacts to add interest.
Agree- books are the #1 thing we put in first! Forgot to mention that!
