Since my last post I am noticing bookshelves and bookcases everywhere and the ones that work really leap out.  The bookshelves above are my idea of perfection.  Such an interesting combination of colours, both books and decorative items.

One could call this styling … the ability to put together bits and pieces that work … and it is all about having an eye for colour.  It is the combination of colours that pull it all together … or to be quite specific, always work with a complimentary palette of colours.

Apply this principle to any collection whether it be bookshelves or dressing table. There is nothing as elegant as white or cream with a hint of soft metallic. Have a play and see what you can achieve.
