Still not mastered the art of styling bookshelves?? Don’t worry, you are not alone. It is a skill that takes time and practice…and lots of rearranging. Some people who definitely have it mastered are:

Obviously a crucial element of book shelves are the actual books. They add color, height, and, sometimes a display surface. I especially love when a bookcase is arranged by color like this:

Last Monday, I shared this design board and one little detail that you may have missed were the books on the nightstand…
Those books are from an Etsy shop called, Hound Dog Digs.
They specialize in antique items and one of their offerings are these sets of vintage books.
They go ahead and group them and sell them as sets so you have ready-made eye candy for your bookshelf. They are grouped by color or subject so creating a vignette is super easy.
Sometimes grouping books and finding the right combination can be the hard part so this takes some of the work out of styling your book shelves!
To check out their selection, visit their shop here.
I have been trying tirelessly to get my bookshelves right.
It is so hard to edit, isn’t it??
I will share two bookshelves from my house later this week!

I find it hard to style. The images you posted are great. Especially the one with the lamp lit. I'm going to check out that Etsy shop.
