3 Helpful Tips for Styling Stunning Shelves, Tables & Consoles

Styling spaces to make them look their best is an essential last step in the design process. The finishing touches make the space feel complete and memorable. Beautiful homes have details, including art and accessories, that pull the look together for a stunning display. 

Here are 3 tips that will help you style your shelves, tables, and consoles…

1. Style with Groupings

When styling shelves, tables, or consoles, consider grouping items that provide an interesting combination of color, texture, and scale. Add books and interesting conversation pieces that bring attention to the space. You can use trays or position items freely. Use pairs or an odd number of items depending on the look you wish to have. 

2. Add Visual Interest by Varying Your Item Heights

It is important to create an interesting visual mix. You will address this by mixing items according to their weight, height, color, and texture. Then, step back and consider different alternatives to create the best solutions.
