Organise your book collection
Categorised.If you have a huge collection, sort them by category. Keep business books near the work area, cookbooks together in the kitchen, travel books in the family room and so forth.
Sort by title.Place books sideways on shelves so they are vertical and the titles are easily readable. Alternate vertical with horizontal stacks to make your shelf display more unique!
Stack three books on a side table to use as a raised display area. Set a lamp or plant on top of the books.
Reading wall.Build or buy enough bookshelves to fill one wall of a room, or one side of a wide hallway. That way, you’ll get loads of storage even in a small space!
Move up. Try installing a display shelf 30cm or more down from the ceiling or at the top of the doorways. The shelf can run along one wall or all around a room. Make sure a thicker material is used so the shelves won’t sag under the weight of the books!
Built-Ins. It’s a great idea to use the space underneath a window seat or banquette for bookshelves.
Side tables. Ideal for very large books. Place a few on the floor next to a chair, then top it with a small piece of glass to use as an end table. Either arrange the books as a column or fan them around for a more interesting look.
