Bookcase Styling
B ookcases can be intimidating to tackle at times. Most of the time, my students are hesitant to start working on a cluttered display. This bookcase was styled by a recent class. An easy way to do it quickly, is to keep removing things till you have only the most striking items left.
We like to also “zig zag” the plants or greenery and color. Focal point pieces can be centered.
In the “before” picture (below), you can see that too many things make it difficult to enjoy the more special pieces. Less is more, as they say.
The best way to start is to remove everything and start fresh. If you are limited on time, just keep removing things till you have a few nice pieces.
There are some rules about com-
po
sition
that we teach in the class, such as,
texture, color
and height. But they are a bit too time-consuming
to
explore here.
When there are books, we like to cover them with pretty paper, if practical, and put 1/3rd of them on the horizontal.
Display collections and pictures, of course, if you are not selling.
Put the tallest books and accessories on the ends and pull the books level on the front of the shelf.
The question always comes up, “Should we remove the family pictures?” For staging, we do remove most of them but I like to leave some pictures if they look professional
and the family is a nice-looking,
