So, it is very important to keep books neat without taking up a lot of space and to keep the room from being messy.

A bookshelf is not just a storage place, but is also a part of your home decoration whose beauty must be considered.
You can arrange books according to color. Add decorations such as small plants or ornaments to suit your personal taste. To inspire you, here are some easy ways to organize bookshelves that you can try. Let’s see!
Tidy up your book collection
When you have too much of a collection of books at home, first you have to ask yourself, do you really need every title? So, there’s no harm in considering donating some of the books you no longer need or like.
Take advantage of vertical space
If you really don’t have enough space, the solution is to use a tall bookshelf or floating shelf that reaches the ceiling to maximize storage capacity. This takes advantage of often overlooked vertical space and allows you to store a larger collection of books without taking up valuable floor area. Another idea, you can add shelves above other units, maximize vertical space by adding shelves above a table, dresser, or sideboard.
Think creatively
Just like when arranging cupboards or other furniture at home, try to be more creative when determining where to store your books. For example, non-conventional storage is a solution for those of you who have small rooms. Some unique places you can use to store books are on a windowsill, the wall above the entrance, a headboard, or a trolley that you can store in a cabinet.
Gallery wall
To maximize wall space, consider creating a gallery wall with bookshelves. Begin by visualizing the wall space, and sketch out your ideas. Instead of a photo or painting gallery, create a gallery of floating shelves or shelves with brackets. Once you’re sure, combine art and books on the walls for a neat or minimalist look. To make access easier, add an attractive ladder to reach tall shelves.
The right setting system
For limited space, organizing books is very important so you need the right organization system. The reason is that finding certain books or maintaining an organized collection can be a significant challenge. Apart from arranging alphabetically or by subject, there are several other ways to group thick books, namely arranging them by color. Another option is to organize your books by genre, which is especially helpful if you have a larger collection. Lastly, organizing books by size is a great option for small spaces.
Add decorative objects
In addition to arranging books according to your taste, other design elements such as candles can add interest to a horizontal stack of books. This can create a comfortable, intimate feel in a small space. Additionally, combining decorative objects with books will create visual interest. For example, small plants, statues, framed photos, or bookmarks. These items can freshen up the look of the book and add a personal touch. However, you must still be careful not to add to the chaos. Be inspired!
