22 Ways To Organize Your Bookcases.
1. Use empty picture frames to create visually striking geometric patterns against a wall.
2. A cleverly arranged bookcase can be as pretty as a window view.
3. Borrow a trick from interior designers: Inside a bookcase, use paint that’s a couple shades deeper than the room color.
4. For maximum pop, try arranging the shelves with solid-colored items, like white ironwork or a vibrant vase.
5. Imagine living room shelves as display space for your favorite books, photographs, and family heirlooms.
6. Give bathroom shelves an organized look by grouping together like-colored towels.
7. Use labeled boxes to house odds and ends without a home.
8. Shelve items by type―pots on one level, books on another―for a systematic look to your kitchen.
9. A simple arrangement of classics has the order and stateliness of a library.
10. Style a bookcase with unexpected items, like an eye-catching antique or a porcelain statue.
