Do you struggle to keep your bookshelf in order? Are you tired of constantly rearranging your books to no avail? Check out these unconventional organisation solutions from Artiss to give your personal library a sense of order and clarity.
-
Organise by Colour 🌈 Sorting your books into a rainbow is not only visually stunning but also an easy way to brighten up any room.
-
Organise Autobiographically 📚 Organise your books based on the year you bought or read them, or by how they make you feel, or by who gave them to you. This method is personal and unique to your life story.
-
Separate Your Want-to-Read Section 📖 Give your unread books a separate section either on your bookshelf or in another room.
-
Break Up with Accessories 🌿 Add ornaments and keepsakes to break up the monotony, but be sure to keep houseplants away to avoid pests and unintentional damage.
-
Organise by Size 📐 Utilise the size and shape of your books to your advantage by organising them from small to tall, tall to small, or in rolling curves.
-
Use Baskets for Frequently Used Books 📚 Keep your most-used books in a separate decorative basket for easy access and portability.
-
Turn the Pages Outward 📖 For a uniform and aesthetically pleasing look, turn your books so the spines face the back of the shelf and the pages face outward. This method may make it difficult to find specific titles.
-
Re-Cover Your Books with Personal Dust Jackets 📚 Add a personal touch to your book collection by designing and creating your own dust jackets.
-
Use the Rule of Thirds 📐 Apply the photography guideline of the rule of thirds to your bookshelves by filling two-thirds of a shelf and leaving one-third empty.
-
Get Creative with Shelves 📚 Instead of moving your books around, try using different types of shelves such as ladder shelves, corner units, sideboards, floating shelves, or rolling trolleys. You can also paint your shelves, cover the backs with vintage wallpaper, or decorate with fairy lights.
