Who’s ready to hit the books? When it comes to styling the shelf, you can’t go wrong with a few stacks. Opting for larger coffee table books helps the eye catch them from afar. And don’t be afraid to get creative with the arranging! Mixing up the position of your reads ups the visual intrigue and prevents your shelf from feeling heavy. 

Browse our selection of books to keep your book base (and case) game strong.

Books in the front, party in the back y’all! Dressing up the back of your shelving unit with paint, fabric or wallpaper is an easy way to make an impact. Embracing pattern can add a complementary OR contrasting background to guide your styling. Bonus points for the additional depth (and additional fun) that this creates for a shelf.

Whether you're looking for subtle or statement-making, our Wallpaper Collection has the back of your shelves covered.

Indoor plants are a great way to add a pop of color and an organic touch. Working with a bigger shelf? Adding an element like draping ivy helps draw the eye from top to bottom. Don’t have a green thumb? Artificial plants can make the same impact without the fuss (don’t worry, we won’t tell anyone it’s faux).
