added by Cathy Lara to 10 Bestselling Ways to Decorate With Books
Color coordinated. The custom shelving unit and the book styling in this traditional living room are stunning. The designer grounds the space with neutral furnishings and layers on splashes of color by way of book spines.
added by Laura Gaskill to Budget Decorator: 15 No-Cost Ways to Invigorate Your Space

added by ECOterior Solutions to Dressing your Bookshelves (6 weeks ago)
Organizing the books in colors gives a wonderful visual effect. Also match some accessories and it will establish the pattern. with Yellow pair brass and gold accents, pair white with lovely blue and white porcelain, pair black with glass to give a little shimmer.
