Thinking about joining the trend? The initial requirement is a suitable bookshelf. Whether it's a built-in structure, floating shelves or just a spacious side table, your prized collection requires a proper display. After acquiring the shelf, experiment with stacking books on different shelves and even additional surfaces within the room

The arrangement of these books can be personalised according to your preferences, but the crucial aspect is to incorporate books that hold personal significance or evoke a sense of connection for you

It is important to achieve the bookshelf wealth style in a manner that appears affluent and fashionable without appearing cluttered, which ultimately boils down to finding balance, particularly when selecting art pieces

A common mistake that people do is to inadvertently purchase artworks of similar shapes and sizes. Experts opine that incorporating variety, mixing and overlapping are key elements, with no rigid rules in place

Your subsequent task involves introducing items that bring joy into the mix. These can range from artworks, risers to plants. Additionally, you have the flexibility to include objects extending beyond the shelf itself, such as library ladders, task lighting or furniture
