One of my most popular posts of years past was a bookshelf accessory round up and a client of mine alerted me that a lot of the links were dead/no longer available, so I updated the post to include some new fresh finds!
The key to successful bookshelf styling is to mix up the contents- small art, photographs, sculpture, boxes, trays– you name it. I even have a animal skull I found in the woods (and bleached, don’t worry) on mine under a cloche. Anything goes! Also, be sure to change the direction of your books from shelf to shelf (or even within the same shelf)- placing some stacked horizontal and others the normal orientation with bookends.
