![]() ![]() I think floating shelves are best not loaded up too heavily, the idea that they are floating suggests a lightness that should be repeated in the decorating too.The 2147×2 Rectangular modular shelves truly offers endless possibilities. Whether you mount it on the wall or use at storage on the ground it has so many different assembly options you are going to want to try every single one of them. ![]() ![]() This home has a rather transitional style, so I’ll be looking for more clean-lined items, and likely not nearly as many books. These are three floating shelves in a home office. These bookshelves are quite a different look from the first bookshelves. I just dipped in once a week for a few weeks to see what was new and ended up grabbing 10 plus books each time. I found so many beautiful picture books on topics that this homeowner loves and pricing was $1 for paperbacks and $2 each for hardbacks. There is another shop in our suburb though that really delivered. I thought I’d just check out a few thrift stores in my area and I hit a gold mine! Of course Goodwill works, although the one in our area doesn’t have that many books. In this process, I discovered the best way to fill bookshelves on a budget. We wanted to keep the expenses really low in this redo, so I vowed to keep it at $100 for some new items. What items to get for this bookshelf styling? She likes black and white items, like the vase there on the bottom shelf, her indigo blue color and even some pops of apple green.Īll those will look great in front of a taupe color. It will also cause those standards on the sides to disappear, visually, so we’ve killed two birds with one stone here. I think that will warm up the white look, soften the wall, and make it all look more “designed” and appealing. So, I asked her to paint the inside back and sides of the open shelf area a taupe color, something that sort of matches her brick. With an all white look, it can look kind of spotty and busy sometimes, even with a nicely decorated bookcase. I’m not a huge fan of an all white bookcase, as I think doing something on the inside back is a nice way to break up the space and not make the books and items look too cluttered. Now, we use those little pin holes drilled into the sides of the bookcase for adjustable shelving, avoiding the more distinctive metal standards. ![]() I asked her to lose one shelf per section and then space the others equally from the top of the face frame opening to the base of the cabinet. In most cases, builders install a few too many shelves and it is best to remove at least one and spread the others out then. If you have tons of books and are squeezing them in to utilize every inch, then a lot of shelving is fine. In this case, it will also make the bookcase feel taller and more vertical, which I think would be nice here. When you do that you have more room for taller items, you don’t need so many things to fill the shelves, and it just gives everything room to breathe. Also, because she doesn’t have much to work with now, I told her to do what I did in this bookshelf styling a few years ago, lose one shelf per section. The plates at the top are her fave color, a dark indigo blue, however, they look black up there in the shadows. She also had built-in bookshelves in her home office, not sure we will get that done, but she has a lot of bookshelves to fill with both of these spaces.īecause of that, I asked her to do a little homework prior to the styling. ![]()
