Styling Bookshelves

I have long struggled with knowing how to style bookshelves. The open space is just so intimidating! I have been scouring the internet and Pinterest for inspiration, and have found some fabulously styled bookshelves!

After the wedding this weekend I am planning on using some of this inspiration to finally style two struggling bookshelves in my house! I am linking up with The Vintage Apple for Pinteresting Wednesday!

I love these shelves! I think the key is adding some personal touches that really show your personality, but not overdoing it. I love the coral and pretty paintings/pictures as an addition!

Cant wait to see what you come up with! We have two large bookcases in our living room that need some styling attention.

It's hard to style a bookshelf sometimes- there is so much space! I like all the inspiration you feature here, though. I also think it helps when you add frames or small trinkets to take up space besides just books. Good luck! :)

Love these! I love styling bookshelves. Too bad we don't have any in our house... yet. Instead I rearrange the bookshelves at our friend's house. Hah!

Styling bookshelves is a new concept to me, I just shove it full with books. We have bookshelves in almost every room, we're huge readers here.

I love the second bookshelf! I get so intimidated when trying to style a bookshelf, too! Looking on Pinterest is such a great idea!
