There’s no need to take the term “bookcase” literally. A bookshelf can also be a beautiful place to showcase small treasures and decorative items. Here are a few of our favorite tips for dressing up a bookcase:- Use pretty books as risers for vases or bowls.
- Add a seasonal touch with shells in summer, pretty flowers or branches in spring, gourds in autumn and pinecones or berries in winter.
- Cover the back of your bookcases with custom backgrounds that can be changed out each season – just measure your space and cut foam core board to fit. Cover the board with the fabric or wallpaper of your choice and slide it into the space.
- Let a vase or hurricane filled with pretty floral accents stand in for a bookend.
- Display books according to color – it instantly makes your bookshelf look more organized, and you can play off the colors with vases and other accents.
- Add a small mirror to the back of your bookcase, or stand it up on a shelf using a plate stand. The mirror reflects light from the back of shelves, which tend to be dark on their own.
