When I have two shelves in the same unit I separate the triangles over both units. You'll see here I used 4 Triangles in my latest design. It's such a simple tip but it's what took my styling to the next level. You want peoples' eyes to roam, to feel like there is always more to look at. It provides balance and helps your eye bounce over the entire shelving unit. If you do nothing else, follow the triangle method.
To demonstrate the principles I use, I will be illustrating them on a recent design post. I want the shelves to be interesting, have depth and dimension, and have a clean, uncluttered aesthetic. The guidlines I follow help me achieve a few key things. The good news is, that there are guiding principles that will help you get there. Sometimes you have to go with what feels right. Here's the bad news, no matter what anyone says, there are no hard fast rules in design. You'll be armed with the tools you need to make your shelves look drool worthy. Whether you use one of my pre-styled Accessory Recipes, or you follow this guide and take the time to source all the accessories yourself is up to you.
I'll be breaking down all the guidelines I follow in this post to give you the tools to style your shelves like an expert. I wouldn't say styling comes easily to me, but I have taken the time to research and study what works and doesn't.

I have a post on How to Find Your Home's Style which is a great starting point. It sets the mood and welcomes you in.īefore you style your home you'll want to know the over all look you're going for. Styling can make the space feel more inviting, vibrant, relaxing. You feel confident, you look amazing, and people want to be around you. Get your hair and nails done, makeup's on point, and you are ready to kill it.
Think of styling your home like getting ready to go out. The same can be said for the opposite, a well styled shelf can really elevate the entire space and make it look put together. They gather clutter and can make the room seem messier. Shelves can become an eyesore in your home.
