There are a lot of amazing ideas out there for how to organize your bookshelves, from the controversy and the minimalism of facing your books spine in, to the confusing technicolor glory of arranging by color, I think I’m the only one still alphabetizing. However you organize your books, though, there area few things you can add to make your shelves even prettier.
1. Decorative Book Ends
Add a splash of color to your shelves with this purple agate and gold covering. Heavy enough to hold up your hardbacks, and pretty enough to make you want to replace your simple steel ones.
On the other hand, if your books are colorful enough already, or you’re going for a monochrome look, try these lion book ends. Griffindor pride?
A few of these bookends can lend life and cohesion, and have a wonderful antique feel, like a library in a victorian manor.
2. Decorative Lights
Fairy lights are classic, and no one’s hating, but here are a few other options for bookshelf lamps, like this moon lamp. All moon lamps are good moon lamps, but this one actually hovers.
Alternatively, if space isn’t your thing, try this open book lamp for all your book viewing needs.
And it changes colors! Perfect for on top of your bookshelves or next to your books, or really anywhere you need some light in your life.
3. Antique Clocks
Ever lose track of time while reading? It’s caused a lot of problems for me. Avoid this foible by adding this antique clock to your bookshelf.
Sure, you could use a normal clock, but this clock makes your shelf seem like a library and not just a pile. It looks so official.
4. Bookmark Organizers
Bookmarks always going everywhere? Solve all of life’s problems (or like, most of them) with this book shaped caddie.
I know there’s shelf controversy, but how do we sort our bookmarks? Discuss.
5. Globes
A globe is great if you need to fill some space on top of shelves, or if your bookshelves are absolutely massive. Plus, and you might be sensing a theme, this one looks antique and fun.
This globe will make you look WISE. Worldly. Plus if you forget which countries are adjacent to which, there’s your answer.
