How do you shelf?

I have my three Billy Bookcases in a row. It saves room and it actually creates the illusion that I have more space than I do. This is great for small rooms, like my library. Also, it makes a nice background for my videos and makes me feel very scholarly, which motivates me to do work.

I also make sure to use the space on top of the bookcases. If you get stackable totes and organizers, you can make the most out of the space that you have. You can also put pictures on top, which adds a nice ambiance to your room.


I hope that my shelves provided some inspiration for you! There are great resources out there for how to organize your shelves and StumbleUpon and Pinterest are good places to go to for bookish inspiration. Happy shelving!

  1. I bought my first Billy this past summer! It's already completely full *cough* It goes almost all the way to my ceiling, too high to put much on!
    When I get my own place again, the first thing I need to do? Buy more!! I still do have the two bookcases my dad made when I was younger as well as a closet cubby fixture that is now a bookcase, lol! The way my room slants, I can't fit a second Billy atm :(

    Yours look very nice and sleek!
