Decorating Bookshelves~

Decorating Bookshelves 

Trying to figure out how to style bookshelves has always been a problem. In today's society a lot of people like to read their books on their tablets so not a lot of people would have enough hard cover books to actually put on bookshelves. 

Personally I prefer to read a hard cover book because I spend too much time with gadgets with work and school, so stepping away from a screen for an hour is always relaxing. 

I recently had to take out the carpets from a few rooms so some furniture was rearranged, and some were taken out of my room resulting in new bookshelves. I bought two, and this is what I did with the first one. I filled the very top with books and the last two halfway. I placed the middle and last halfway on each side because I had these Mickey Mouse bookends I wanted to use. Plus, I didn't have enough books to fill all this space, and the space of the bigger bookshelf I got. 

The second one is a bit wider, and at this point I was running out of books so again, I split them up. This is how I had first set it up, and how I will be leaving it for a few days to see how I like it but I'll be honest, I'm probably going to replace some of the decorations with something else.  

The bottom part of this has these sliding doors so I put a bunch of random things inside. Still, I want to be organized. Old magazines on one side for future projects, some paint and small card stock paper keeping the magazines in place. On the other side I have some old tapes and on the bottom of that I have these dividers containing construction paper, folder and printing paper, stencils, and other papers. Instead of just sitting all over the place having these makes finding the stuff you need a whole lot easier.



I hope seeing what I did gave you some kind of idea on decorating your bookshelves! :)
