Even a reading nook can use some accessorizing. First, a side table for keeping you safe from hot coffee spills. Or a place for your book before taking a cat nap on the arm chair. Remember, you need proper place for your glass to avoid breaking it. Use accessories to bring the space to life like a potted plant, work of art or souvenirs from family vacations. Choose whatever strikes your fancy.
Organize your reading materials by category. Group together cookbooks, and keep these separated from your novels, and so on. The idea is to group the books in a way that makes sense for your purpose that could mean by genre, author, or even by size. Keep your magazines separated too. Once you’ve got everything sorted you can start filling the shelves. The way you arrange your books, knickknacks, and photos on each shelf can add appealing visual element in your room.
Don’t think you need to store all your books vertically – stacking some horizontally can add visual interest. Arrange books so that all the spines run along the same line at the front of the bookshelf. Don’t push them back of the shelf.
You can also add a vase or bowl that can create a dramatic effect, and serve as storage for smaller odds and ends. If you have basket or bowl that’s just above eye level, it can be full of stuff but nobody will see it.
