Think about classic living room furniture. You have your couch, your coffee table, your television already purchased and set up. But one piece of furniture that is essential to make your home complete is a bookcase. Even though e-readers are popular, there’s nothing better than getting a good book to read. And you need a nice place to put it.
Asides from just putting that bookcase in your home, there are ways to make it pop and really become a cornerstone of your living.
Book Arrangement
Arrange your bookcase by color. Start with red books on the right then finish the rainbow towards the left to make it colorful and tasteful. Or, just place all similarly colored books in their own squares as pictured below.
Bookends
Hold your books up with beautiful bookends. These sculptures can be of your favorite animals, in the shape of important items from your beloved books, or even plants.
Succulents
Still working on filling those shelves? Well, fill the empty space with beautiful, low maintenance plants!
Photos
Put your favorite photos in between your reads. Make your bookcase a display of your life.
A Good Scent
Make the space by your books smell delicious with a candle or essential oil diffuser to keep you going over and getting more to read. Allow the scent to soothe you while you get whisked away in a good read.
