Decorating with Shelving - Tips from our Furniture Store!
Shelving is a great way to style and function in just about any room in your home! it's a great way to utilize wall space in your home and add more storage! So you've got your shelving up - are you feeling overwhelmed with what to do with them? Our Lake of the Ozarks Furniture store has a few tips for you! Read on to learn more!
Group Items Together
When decorating a space, like shelves, you'll want to group similar items together. Decide on a theme for your space or incorporate the existing room's theme into your shelving decor. Having random items in the mix that don't look or feel like they belong can cause you to force incorporating these items, and that's a sign it's not meant to be in your space (or at least not on the shelf).
Start with Larger Pieces
When arranging your decor items, start with your larger or statement pieces. Your statement piece should be in a place of focus - toward the center of the shelf or toward the front of a shelf. This helps draw the eye to your favorite pieces that you want others in your space to notice.
Layer Items
Adding depth and height to your shelving arrangement can help it appear more interesting to look at. Don't be afraid to place taller items behind another shorter item to give your shelf some depth. The same goes for height. Stack a few books on their side to hoist an item up off the shelf. This tactic can give your shelf a three-dimensional feel.
Add in a Splash of Color
Your shelf is a great place to add some color to your room. Consider adding a statement or accent piece that matches the color theme you have for the room. If you prefer a more neutral look, you may consider adding a floral arrangement to add a splash of natural tone to your space!
Step Back
As you're arranging and creating your masterpiece, take a step back. Think about what catches your eye and if that's what you want the focal point of your shelf to be. Also, look for any bare spots that seem out of place. If your eye navigates to these spots, you'll know you can scoot an item over to fill the spot or add an additional item to fill the gap - whichever preference better fits your style!
