What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Margaret Everton to Being Minimalist When You Like Stuff
Yes, enjoy your things. Know how to display and organize them.
added by Margaret Everton to Contained Chaos
I get too nervous about mixing the library-worthy order of my own library, but I love the color organization of this collection. The segmentation of this bookshelf helps visually separate the collection into bite-sized sections and allows for more filled shelves without overdoing the look.

added by Kit Pollard to Books in the Kitchen
These books might not be in the kitchen, but I love the way they're organized - great inspiration for putting together a pretty display in the kitchen.
added by Lily Gahagan to Design Details: Inspired by Expedit Bookshelves
Go playful with color coding.
Tip: Keep a cubby or two open for a few cherished pieces. This way they'll get the chance to shine.
added by Shawn Gauthier to Instant Décor: Beautiful Book Covers
Or order several in varied shades for a bright, rainbow feel.
added by Melissa Alvarado Sierra to Blocks of Color Shout Confidence and Style
Color blocking can be done with paint, artworks and even books. Color code objects and create a color-blocked library.
added by Lily Gahagan to Fresh Start: 39 Ways to Organize Your Stuff
Arranging books by color might not be the most practical method of organization, but it sure is pretty.
added by Lisa Frederick to Paperback Books Get a Second Look
I am so stealing this idea. Grouping books by color adds up to a gorgeous, graduated rainbow effect that showcases even the most unassuming of paperbacks in their best light. Genius!

3. Books organized by color. Yes, I think it's pretty. Until you actually want to find something to read. Then it is infuriating. When was the last time you decided you wanted to read a book with a yellow spine?
