At Furniture Source International, we take pride in the versatility and timeless appeal of our furniture pieces, including our meticulously designed bookcases and hutches. These pieces not only serve as functional storage solutions but also offer endless opportunities for personalization and decoration to reflect your unique style and taste.
Items
While bookcases are commonly used to house books, they can also serve as display shelves for various treasures and decorative items. Consider incorporating a mix of books, trinkets from your travels, framed photos, vases, bowls, and baskets to add visual interest and personality to your bookcase. Experiment with different placements, such as stacking books, leaning framed photos, or layering decorative objects to create dimension and depth.
Size
Mixing and matching items of different sizes is key to creating a balanced and visually appealing display on your bookcase. Varying the height and width of items helps prevent the space from looking cluttered and adds visual intrigue. Opt for items with varying heights, and adjust the shelf height if necessary to accommodate different sizes of items. Aim to have around three items per shelf or cubby, ensuring a harmonious balance of sizes throughout the bookcase.
Shape
Incorporating a variety of shapes adds visual diversity and interest to your bookcase display. While books and boxes may have a more basic cube shape, consider adding vases in different shapes and sizes, as well as baskets with various shapes and textures. Look for unique decorative pieces with unconventional shapes, such as curved or angular accents, to create a dynamic contrast with the straight lines of the bookcase.
Color
When selecting items for your bookcase, consider creating a cohesive color palette that complements the room’s decor. While items should not all be the same color, they should harmonize with each other to create a cohesive look. Choose a palette of colors that work well together, and consider incorporating pops of accent colors strategically to add visual interest. Additionally, experiment with textures, patterns, and materials to add depth and dimension to your bookcase display.
By carefully selecting and arranging items of different sizes, shapes, colors, and textures, you can create a beautifully curated bookcase display that reflects your personal style and enhances the overall aesthetic of your space.
