HOW TO...

ACCESSORISE YOUR BOOKCASE

Natureinspired vase, Dhs625, AL HUZAIFA

Make your shelves a talking point “Consider the type of bookcase you have. Its size and arrangement of the shelves will determine how many accessories and how they should be distributed,” says Mei Al Hakim, interior designer at IDdesign.

“Remember that less is more when it comes to decorating your bookcase. Colour coordinate your books, if possible, for a beautiful effect, and let the colours and materials from the surrounding room lead the direction of accessory choice.

Use different scales and heights to add a sense of drama. You can personalise the bookcase by using photo frames, accessories collected from your travels, special gifts from loved ones and inherited family pieces.”
