Now that I’ve had my white IKEA shelves up in ONE SPOT for a WHOLE year…. It’s time to do some rearranging, right??
Maybe, maybe not. But I do need to document this for all the people in my life that think I change my house around too often! (I’m looking at you, Jason Lemp)
I’ve left this spot alone (kind of) for a whole year, and I’ve enjoyed switching things around for each new season. Do you decorate seasonally at your house? I honestly don’t do a TON of seasonal decorating, but have enjoyed creating this one, main focal point in my home.

Tips for Creating a Beautifully Styled Shelf
- Start with a clean shelf that is proportional to your space. I used three of these basic, white shelves from IKEA that are only 24.99 each! I covered a large wall, and could almost use one more shelf.
- Don’t go overboard with knick knacks and clutter.
- Arrange your books by COLOR! I switched out different colored books for different seasons.
- A little color goes a long way.
- Don’t forget the greens. Small pops of greenery help keep things fresh looking.
- Layer and stack items to create height.
