Decorating shelves
When it comes to decorating shelves the options are endless. From cherished possessions and family photographs, to decorative antiques, collectibles and items brought back from travels, there are all manner of items that can be arranged to create unique and characterful displays that bring joy and narrative to your interior design.
While there are not strict rules for styling a shelf, there are some key decorating ideas and design principles that can help transform your shelves from cluttered to curated, so we've rounded up some handy advice and ideas to help guide the way.
1. Start with books

If you're wondering where to begin with shelf styling, 'books are an obvious starting point, they bring warmth and interest to any room,' says Simon Temprell, interior design manager at Neptune . Perfect for bringing height and structure to your display, they 'can be arranged traditionally or positioned in small stacks with space for an ornament to sit on top,' he adds.
Once the books are in position, 'layer in small pieces of artwork and decorative objects at different heights, remembering that groups of odd numbers always work better than even.

2. Arrange in odd numbers

If there's one golden rule the interior designers swear by when it comes to arranging vases, artworks and decorative items on a shelf or your sideboard decor, it's the theory odd numbers. 'Always use uneven numbers and group things in threes or fives – odd numbers help to add balance and are much easier on the eye, explains Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs .
Sophie Pringle, creative director, Pringle & Pringle echoes this advice when she says, ‘living room shelves benefit from mixing things up – incorporate art, add plants, use odd numbers of objects grouped together; start with large pieces and build around that.'
3. Size matters

When selecting objects to decorate your shelves with, choose an array of sizes and heights as this will ensure your display flows say the experts.
'Be sure to use objects and ornaments of different sizes across the shelving so you have movement,' says Emma Deterding.
'Grouping a larger item with a medium and smaller item will not only keep the grouping, but will create a flow for your eyes to travel with.'
4. Create an eye-catching ceramics display

Open shelving is the perfect place to display your favorite decorative objects or ceramic vases. For alternative to hanging a painting, why not create a beautiful focal point on your living room wall by arranging a series of shapely vessels on shelves behind the sofa.
'Open shelving is an excellent way to consolidate all your disparate objects and to keep everything nicely contained rather than scattering it all around the room,' says Simon Temprell.
For wall decor with variation and interest consider pieces with sculptural shapes and interesting surface texture, plus 'try to avoid lots of small objects and instead concentrate on more considered items that have presence and form,' he adds.

Grouping items in a chosen color palette is a good way to keep it looking cohesive and visual pleasing, but take care not make things look too staged advises Simon Temprell.
'You can group by color or by decorative style or material, but make sure that the finished results look cohesive, rather than a different look on each shelf,' says Simon Temprell. 'Try not to get too caught up with symmetry and avoid being too matchy-matchy, you will get better results if you create the impression that the collection has grown organically. You want the shelves to look like your home, not a showroom.'
In her Regency home ceramicist Avril Leigh has created a beautiful shelf display by decorating with blue and white china. A mix of shapes and styles keeps the display varied and interesting, from vintage Spode and Burleigh pieces to contemporary artisan ceramics with abstract designs.
6. Break it up with artwork

Having bespoke shelving fitted wall-to-wall is a brilliant way to create ample living room storage, but a large expanse of shelving can run the risk of looking cluttered and busy. Hanging a striking artwork from the shelves is a great way to create a visual break, but can also serve as a clever way to conceal less decorative items like cables or electricals.
'Remember art doesn’t always need to be hung on the centre of the wall it can rest on top of tables or layered next to sculptures or on bookshelves and joinery,' says Camilla Clarke, creative director at Albion Nord .
7. Decorate alcove shelves

Whether they're part of the existing architecture of your home or built-in, alcoves make a brilliant space to fit shelving and create a decorative display.
Recessed shelving within alcoves offers space to display cherished items, artwork and decorative objects without encroaching on living space, alternatively they can be a lovely way to add interest to landings and hallways, which can sometimes be forgotten when it comes to decor.
When arranging alcove shelves it's important to think about texture, says Julia Dempster . 'I prefer to use contrasting textures, for example, glass next to a textured vase or a wooden vessel to get contrast and I limit the colors to a maximum of three,' says the British interior designer.
'Placing a piece of reflective glass against a raffia bottle or a rough pottery vase makes the items stand out.'
8. Incorporate plants

Decorating with plants immediately brings an uplifting feel and is a must for shelf styling say the interior experts. Boasting numerous benefits for our health and wellbeing plants are a quick way to make us feel happier at home but can also be beautifully decorative.
'Plants will bring an element of softness and freshness to any shelf, especially those that trail. Succulents have architectural style and demand very little attention, so they can be useful for filling the gaps where objects feel a little too rigid,' explains Simon Temprell.
If you're looking to decorate open shelves used as a room partition in an open plan living room, then plants make the perfect addition as they soften the harsh angles and bring a touch of color and life while still maintaining an open and airy feel.
9. Bring character to a kitchen

As the busiest room in the house the kitchen makes a great space to decorate with art as you'll be able to appreciate and enjoy it every day. Leaning artwork on a shelf brings a casual feel and allows the artwork to be restyled or swapped for a fresh new look from season-to-season or as and when tastes change. Try antique paintings for a quirky look.
'People are becoming more free and personal with their choices in style but more careful in their choices of materials and longevity,' says Helen Parker, creative director at Devol . 'We have seen people using items that would have been considered not suitable for kitchens ten years ago, things like chandeliers and oil paintings and antiques.'
When stying shelves in your kitchen consider adding wall lights to illuminate the display.
10. Create a memory wall

Decorating shelves with family photos and meaningful objects such as items brought back from holidays or heirloom antiques is a lovely way to spark happy memories.
Hanging a gallery wall and achieving the perfect composition can be hard to get right and involves hammering nails into the wall. Alternatively, leaning artwork and possessions on narrow picture shelves is a great way to create a gallery wall effect without committing to a set structure. Instead it gives you plenty of flexibility over the display allowing you to re-style to your heart's content.
11. Less is more

If you're thinking of arranging your shelves don't be tempted to overfill, says Simon Temprell, in fact, 'when styling open shelves it is important to consider the spaces you leave empty just as much as the spaces you fill,' says the interior design manager of Neptune.
Grouping objects with simple silhouettes in small groups and in a monochrome palette will help create a calm atmosphere perfect for a minimalist living room but will also help highlight the beauty and simplicity of each individual piece.
12.
Think about layering(Image credit: James Balston)
If there's one thing the interior designers agree that shelves can't be without its books. 'Books are another element to always include in your shelving too, afterall, books make a house a home,' says Emma Deterding. 'The different colors, textures and prints on the covers will also add eye catching detail - just be sure to group them by colour to create an easy-on-the-eye rainbow effect.
If you have lots of books or a small living room then don't be afraid to layer up artworks and small objects in front, this can be a great way to bring warmth and texture to a living room.
'If you are short on space and your shelves are already crammed full, try adding artwork that can hang in front of the books, treating the bookshelves as wallpaper,' says Simon Temprell.
13. Use color to set off your display

Displaying collectibles over shelves in a glazed cabinet is a lovely way to keep them contained and protected, plus saves on the dusting! Painting the back of a cabinet i a vibrant brilliant way to set off a collection, especially when the pieces a light and have sculptural shapes.
What do you put on shelves to decorate?
When it comes to what to put on your shelves to decorate the options really are endless. 'Think about your finest pottery, vases and ornaments as well as personal items such as photographs, prints and art,' says Emma Deterding, founder and creative director, Kelling Designs. 'The shelving should be filled with items that spark memories that you treasure.'
Books are a must have for many interior designers as they bring a lived in look and are a great starting point for bringing structure to shelves. They can be displayed ina. traditional way or stacked horizontally in piles and used as mini podiums for smaller decorative objects.
Furthermore, 'remember plants and greenery will add life to your shelving, so be sure to include them to bring a sense of the outdoors in and help ground the space,' says Emma Deterding.
Finally, whichever objects you choose, 'when styling shelves, ensure to mix heights and depths of objects,’ says Sophie Pringle, creative director, Pringle & Pringle.
'You can own some of the most beautiful pieces, but if you don’t style your shelves in an eye-catching way, they can quickly lose any impact they might have had,' she adds.

How do you fill empty shelves?
Are you wondering how to fill empty shelves? Being faced with bare shelves can be daunting, first of all take time to assess the space says Samantha Wilson, interior designer and founder, Collection Noir . 'How many shelves are there and are they at different heights and widths? This is your starting point and will give you the best idea of the potential objects, shapes and sizes you may want to use.'
The next step is gathering all the objects, accessories and personal mementos you may want to feature. 'Try to be creative so you have a variation of sizes, shapes and textures. You may want to include books, boxes, vases, flowers, picture frames, plants and decorative objects to name but a few.' Be sure to select a variety of shapes, textures and sizes to bring rhythm and interest to the display.
From here begin by positioning the larger items such as framed artworks or groups of large books as these will define the structure of the display. 'Start by layering the books on various shelves. If you have a tray, now would be the time to add that too,' says Samantha Wilson.
'Once the large items are in position you can begin layering smaller pieces. Remember, the purpose of your shelf is to display and not to just store, so keep the smaller items to a minimum to avoid cluttering.'

How to decorate open shelves in the kitchen: 6 beautiful ideas
As a rule, open shelves in the kitchen are chosen for several purposes. The first and main one is saving on the upper modules. So it turns out to significantly reduce the budget for the purchase of a kitchen set. The second reason is the lack of need for storage systems, the desire to decorate the kitchen with open shelves.
And the third is the visual relief of the interior. When choosing open shelves, you need to remember that they decorate the interior only if you keep them in order and ... decorate them correctly.
An important point: they rarely choose one thing for decor - only plates, only vases or jars of cereals. More often than not, several things are combined. We have collected decor ideas that can be combined.
1 Identical jars with inscriptions
If the main purpose of the shelves for you is still storage, put jars with cereals, cookies, flour or coffee there. This will save you space in your kitchen cabinets.
And to make it look aesthetically pleasing, choose the same jars and add them with stickers indicating what exactly is stored in this jar. It will be easier to keep order.

2 Retro details
Retro fashion continues.
If you like this style, you can dilute the composition on the kitchen shelves with one or two retro details.
It is desirable that such details do not stand out from the general interior of the kitchen. If you have modern minimalism, then vintage will not fit into the style. But in the Scandinavian style, country or mid-century modern - yes.

3 Beautiful dishes
Sometimes shelves can serve as a sideboard, where they put not everyday dishes, but beautiful specimens. But this is not entirely practical. There you can store the dishes that you use all the time, but of course it must be aesthetic. Keep in mind that dishes on open shelves inevitably collect dust. It will have to be washed before use.

4 Ceramics
Vases, figurines and other ceramic decorations can also be used to decorate open shelves.
But don't overdo it. The fact is that such decor looks organic when it is dear to the owners - for example, you brought a figurine from travels or received it as a gift from a loved one. Buying special vases and figurines just for the sake of decoration is a direct way to clutter up the kitchen space.

5 Paintings and Posters
The kitchen also has room for framed paintings, photos or posters. Moreover, it does not have to be something in the kitchen theme, like images of fruits or a cup of coffee. Choose a picture according to the style of the interior. It can be landscapes, abstraction, anything.

6 Plants
There is debate about whether live plants can be put in the kitchen.
Some believe that this is unnecessary, since the humidity and elevated temperatures in the cooking area can negatively affect the greens.
If the open shelves are not located above the stove and you know how to properly care for the flower, this step is quite possible to decide. But if you are not sure, choose artificial analogues - such that they are as similar as possible in appearance to real greens.

20 ideas for decorating bookshelves and competent organization of space
and they help and hold books. They are bookshelves, and without them, our homes would be filled with piles of books, and they can be not only functional, but also beautiful. What if decorating your bookshelves is just as important as decorating your living room? Below you will find our tips for decorative finishing, complete with photos of illustrative examples.
You must find an idea that suits your design needs. Who knew that books could be seen as decoration?
Bookshelf Display Strategies
We start with some bookshelf basics. When you are planning your interior, consider the function of the shelf. Do you need a lot of books, or is there room to highlight the treasures of interior decor?
Idea #1: Matching books with decorative items
If you have space, use some decorative items. Vases, figurines and art reproductions as shown below. Notice how the repetition of bright blue and white elements helps bring the interior together.
Idea #2: Create symmetry
A sense of balance is powerful, and symmetry can really connect a room. In the display below, notice how the books, vases and figurines are arranged on the shelves. You will not see one side filled with books, and the other gaping with emptiness.
This stacking strategy can be used on a single bookcase with multiple shelves. Make sure large items are balanced with other large items and there is no empty space left.
Idea #3: Leave some empty space
About the empty space... If you want to leave part of the shelf empty, get the effect of empty space. Smaller rooms can benefit from this minimalist look, as clutter can make interiors appear smaller than they are. On the contrary, a little emptiness creates the illusion of a large space!
Preparation of books
Now let's look at the books themselves. Since the purpose of a bookshelf is to store reading materials, let's look at ways to showcase them
Idea #4: Add a slanted book design
Sure, you can arrange the books vertically, one after the other, but wouldn't it be interesting to change the design? Try tilting the books and you'll get a very different look. In the room below, the books are arranged obliquely, far from the center of each compartment of the shelf, in connection with this, there is a place, in the middle, for decorative elements.
Idea #5: Variety stack of books
You can arrange the books on an angle and stack them.
Stacking books horizontally creates a modern look and adds variety, and is a good alternative for a room where there is nothing but books.
Bookshelf design choice
Now we are going to talk about the color design of the bookshelf. Whether you're looking to bring some much-needed revitalization to a space, or you're looking to save your prostate, here are some suggestions for choosing shades for your bookshelf.
Idea #6: Use a limited color palette
If the room is simple, use a selective color palette. Pictured below is the Domino Tema bookshelf, modern and elegant with white, brown and metallic accents.
Idea #7: Book cover in a single color
If monochromatic design is your preference, try covering your books with identical covers. Notice how white is preferred on this bookcase, the measurement is achieved by varying the hues.
Idea #8: Organize your books by color
If you prefer to see the title of your books, arrange them with the bindings facing out! But try arranging them by color.
..rainbow colors can really spice up a room, adding direction to shelves full of hardbacks and paperbacks.
Idea #9: Create a Gradient Effect
Another color matching choice: achieve a gradient effect, arranging the books so that their color fades and intensifies. Repeat grouping by color from row to row as shown below on the bookcase. One little surprise: this "bookshelf" is actually a wallpaper!
Idea #10: Using Books as a Decorative Color
We say that books blend in with taste, why not use them as a decorative color? On the bookshelves below, yellow, green, red and turquoise books complement the neutral space.
Make room for other items
It's time to reconsider our non-book spaces. With books carefully placed on the shelves now that we're done, let's look at other ways to make your bookshelf stand out.
Idea #11: Hide clutter in boxes
We start with some practical advice. If your shelves need to store documents or other items that should not be visible, they can be hidden in a series of elegant boxes, as shown below.
To maintain style, stick to one color.
Idea #12: Use uniform bindings
We propose the idea of uniformity in binding. Do you have papers on your shelf instead of books? In this next space, office documents are neatly placed in a series of white-bound folders that lie horizontally.
Idea #13: Show off your decorative art collection
Do you have a collection that needs to be shown off? Perhaps your bookshelf is the perfect place for this! Pottery and shells are popular collectibles that bring life to a setting, like this bird theme shown below. Remember, in the grouping of the collection, there must be a style.
Idea #14: Create a sense of depth with art
Use artwork to achieve a sense of depth on your shelves. Notice how the paintings are framed in this next room, creating a backdrop for collectibles and books, layered to create a clear foreground, middle, and background.
Bookshelf for decoration
What if a good bookshelf design caught your attention? Below, we'll look at ways to update your bookcases.
..
Idea #15: Paint the back of your bookshelf
Paint the inside of your bookshelf. It's very simple and is the peak of the design takeoff in recent years, as a project of hobbyists who don't want to use a bright paint color for the whole room, and get a bold color by introducing it through a bookshelf. Plus, the vibrant coloring makes the contents of the shelf stand out!
Idea #16: Paint the top, bottom and side inside of the shelf
If your choice of furniture is a shelving unit that doesn't have a paintable back, you can paint the inside of the shelves. On the bookshelf below, notice how painting the interior of just two compartments turns the shelf into a modern piece of art.
Idea #17: Wallpaper Shelf Interior with Bold Geometric Print
Wallpaper breathes new life into bookshelves, especially when a bold geometric pattern is used along the back interior wall. To properly use the wallpaper, check out the full Feathers Flights tutorial.
Idea #18: Use wallpaper with a metallic sheen
Metal accents add sparkle to your shelf and the space it sits on. Choosing metallic wallpaper as a backdrop for glossy décor items transforms the shelf into a shimmery, vibrant showpiece.
Unforgettable bookshelves
Sometimes a well designed bookshelf becomes a memorable and centerpiece of a room. The shelf itself stands out by its appearance, making your creative work more attractive...
Idea #19: Choose an architecturally interesting bookshelf
Arched bookshelves lower, add movement to the space. Their stunning form is enhanced by selected books in a color scheme of white and cream. On the other hand, on these extraordinary bookshelves, any arrangement of books and decor would be amazing!
Idea #20: Choose a bookshelf that is a work of art
When it comes to art, it's hard to go wrong when choosing a museum-worthy bookshelf. In Moroccan style, the Zelli bookshelf (photo below) is a prime example.
