6 Ideas to Decorate Your Open Shelves

Bookcases, shelves, display cases, and open shelves are carried. And also very decorated! Ceramics, plants, mirrors, frames … Get inspired by these ideas and objects to decorate yours and say goodbye at least it’s more.

1. SHOW IT ALL!

You don’t have to look back too long to remember the huge living room cabinets in our parent’s and grandparents’ homes. Those mastodons went from side to side of the wall, eating up space and causing a lot of visual noise. Instead, open shelves from top to bottom of the wall decorate much more and, like the giant furniture, will offer you the storage you need. Although, if you miss it, a sideboard can be the answer to protect your dishes and glassware.

2. DECORATING STORAGE

It’s time to show all your decorative cards and, for that, shelves, bookcases, and open shelves, showcases, boxes, and also baskets are your best allies. But also order! Because if you want all your objects to fulfill a deco paper – be they books, crockery, or your vinyl collection – order and cleanliness are essential.

3. SHELVES ALONG THE WALL THAT STORE AND DECORATE

We have the strange perception that shelves are the little brothers of shelves, but nothing is further from reality. They have their own essence (and many more possibilities). On a bare wall, they are ideal to place along the wall. Instead of a picture or mirror to decorate the sofa wall, put some shelves to decorate them. In addition, its linearity increases the feeling of spaciousness and helps to make the room seem longer.

4. SIGHT WARE THAT ADORNS

And it seems that the open shelves have also come to the kitchens to stay. Show them your best dishes and glassware and let their patterns and colors do the rest.

5. THE VYNILS IN SIGHT, PLEASE

Because if you keep them like gold on a cloth, you won’t listen to them. The one that you bought in a second-hand store in London, the one that your friends gave you or that rare edition that you keep with so much care. Use a box and put all your vinyl in the style of music stores with more tradition. You will be the envy of your guests and the turntable needle will always be spinning!

6. ORNAMENTS THAT GIVE COLOR

In work shelves that camouflage with the wall – because they look the same finish -, the ornaments can serve to give color while taking up more storage space. Group the books by color and let each of the shades gain weight. Sorting by colors is a fun way to add personality and decorate any space. Do you see it?
