When styling shelves that are both functional and eye pleasing,
start by using a few over-sized or large items then…Stack, Lean, Layer & Group!
Emily Henderson’s perfectly styled shelves below have stacked books with items on top,
leaned objects in front, and are layered with a variety of textures and colors.

Use books, books and more books both vertically and in horizontal stacks.

Line the backs with a fun color, wallpaper or fabric to add some color or pattern.
I used this bright Ikat fabric in this otherwise white closet to give it some dimension and style.

Make it personal with art or photos that you love!
I love using framed art hug on the outside of the shelves.

Take your time and try different options by moving things around.
It’s okay to have a few “rough” drafts when styling shelves.

Have fun with it!
They don’t have to be perfect. Even messy shelves can be stylish!

Enjoy!
