When you have a bookcase or multiple shelves, stagger the items so they’re not all lined up.
step 1…..Start with the bulkier, bigger items at each end of the shelf. Pick something with a unique shape or pattern. This is your foundation.
step 2…..Add some color and height. Taller items are needed to balance the larger end pieces, small bits of color catches the eye.
step 3…..Finish it up with “fillers” - smaller items to fill in among the taller, heavier pieces.
