Five Ways to Decorate Your Bookcase

If you have a bookcase or multiple bookshelves that are filled with books, and they aren't your favorite focal point in the room, fear not! There are ways to revive your book shelves to make them into organized works of art that showcase your interests, photos and prized possessions. Follow these simple steps to organize and beautify your bookcases.

1.  First, remove all books, and sort them by size and subject. Take off any ripped dust jackets and dust all books, this helps to simplify and keep your shelves looking clean. Replace the books by lining some up horizontally and leaving breaks.
2.  Find decorative boxes and place any awkward books or manuals inside. Keeping them out of sight helps give shelves an organized, clean and artful look.
3. Add photo frames, and small decorations to your shelves. Think family heirlooms, and fun collectibles. Consider rotating each item slightly to give it interesting placement.
4.  If you’re truly daring- try painting the inside of the bookcase a fun color. Choose one with a contrast or pick up a color from one of your other pieces. This gives your belongings a background to stand out against.
5.  If you’re not up for crafty tie-ins, opt for fun bookends! Bookends can be found at any decorating store and are often made in the shapes of animals and other objects. Go for whatever suits your style. Whether you like loud bookends like pink elephants or elegant peacocks, you should be able to find something to give your room a new focal point.
