STYLE SECRETS

Follow our handy hints on how to organise shelves

MIX IT UP

When it comes to styling shelves with trinkets, use a mixture of heights and sizes to keep the look varied and pleasing to the eye. stagger different pieces in a natural formation and group items in odd numbers where possible.

PICTURE PERFECT

To display a group of photos in a striking way, consider using picture ledges to stand frames on, rather than hanging them on the wall. This narrow shelving means you can easily refresh the look.

MAKE A RAINBOW

Arrange your books in the colour order of their spines for a smart and well-curated appearance along your shelf units. Follow the sequence of a rainbow’s colours for inspiration, and try working from light to dark in each shade as you go.
