#SHELFIE

Learning to style shelves takes some practice and patience. Visually planning shelves may not come easy to some, but we have found that shelves become an architectural stage for highlighting objects that hold special meaning. Historical artifacts, sculptural pieces, photographs and books make their ways into our lives and then onto our shelves.

A FEW IDEAS FOR CREATING YOUR BEST #SHELFIE.

• Organize books on shelves according to spine color family.

• Consider varying the horizontal and vertical stacking while using special pieces as bookends.

• Save favorite sculptural objects for highly visible shelves to create an intentional look.

• Use a minimal approach with only a few pieces of pottery and favorite books.

• Attempt the trend of books arranged with text outward for a seamless and clean effect.

• Mix up shapes and stagger objects, layer artworks to create framing composition
