Since moving into our new home in September, we’ve been working hard to get all our big home projects out of the way — the feeling of constantly living in a construction zone can wear on a gal!
But, I took a break from the kitchen remodel to focus on decorated bookshelf ideas — something that would make our house feel more like a home.
One of the things I love about my office space is that it has a full wall of built-in shelves. There are also a few other bookshelves I’ve been wanting to decorate and make my own.
I hear often from our Instagram followers that decorating bookshelves is hard.
In hopes to bring simple yet inspirational ideas, here are some of my favorite styled bookshelves along with decor ideas you can grab today!

Who has an at home office? This is the perfect example of how you can use shelving in your office to organize your fav books while keeping the clutter organized with baskets and crates…and as I always say; “It’s not that I’m tidy, I just hide the clutter!”

Greenery is a must have for all bookshelves. Since I can’t keep a real plant alive longer than a couple weeks, fake plants are the way to go in my house.

Do you have shelves in or near your kitchen? It’s the perfect place to store those special wine glasses….and glassware that may not be used daily, but is nice to have easy access to.
