Shelf styling can be tricky. it’s not a snap of a finger type of activity, let me tell ya 😉 It takes some trial and error, lots of styling and stepping back to assess, then styling again until it feels just right. If you’ve got a shelf you’re working on, here are my top tips for styling shelves like a pro, plus some of my shelf decor must-haves!

Styling Tips:

1. Display small groupings of items, alternating between groups of 1-5 items.

2. Mix wood, metals, stone, and woven textures to create visual interest with pieces that pair well.

3. Using tall and small items throughout the shelf space helps it flow by creating contrast with the height differences.

4. Spread out similar tones and textures throughout the space to give it a cohesive look. Notice the wood tones on this shelf are dispersed throughout the space. This helps it flow nicely throughout!
