by Katherine Pushkar Mark Lohman Sure, you can pick up some knock-together set of shelves, but built-ins provide so much more than just a place to stash your stuff. Essentially you’re just using two pieces of decor or art, but when you pair it with another 1 large item on the shelf, it makes it a “rule of 3”. Get ideas to help you design and build built-in bookshelves to add more beautiful and functional storage to your room. The objects at the ends should overlap the edges of the frame. ![]() I’ve broken down this super basic formula into two parts, because it breaks the “rule of 3” about decorating with odd numbers. Formula 1 involves grouping three objects of varying heights, including a tall plant in a decorative planter, a framed print or photo, and a third accessory that’s shorter than the plant and frame. These free botanical printables are very popular, and you might like them, too! Formula #3: Large art or decor item + another art or decor item layered in front + another large decor item to the side. I think the tray would also look really good filled with decorative spheres or greenery balls. I also layered two printables (from Lauren at Blesser House’s free printable library) behind the vase and greenery to give some more interest up there. ![]() This formula is easy to accomplish with just a few items that most of us have around the house. Formula #2: Tray or box + a tall vase + shorter greenery It looks good on a shelf by itself or with other groupings of other items. ![]() ![]() But it’s a great way to display those nicer hardback books in your book collection. I’ve used this formula in several places around my house, not just on my bookshelves.
