9. Curating a Neutral Color Story
A well styled bookshelf tells a story. Curating a thoughtful neutral color story helps keep the space cohesive without looking plain. To do this, choose a consistent palette such as beige, cream, white, tan, warm brown and muted gray.
Make sure the decor items and books align with one or two main tones, while allowing some variation to keep it interesting. For example, a shelf may feature a soft beige vase, cream colored books, a natural wood frame and a light brown woven basket.
By curating a color story, you avoid the cluttered look and create a balanced and peaceful display.
