Off the Shelf

One thing that drives me crazy is when you see bookshelves that are totally packed wall to wall top to bottom with books. This may sound crazy, but blank space is such an easy and simple design concept. Do one shelf with books, one with a picture frame and one with a small stack and open space. Give the eye a place to rest. Its like Coco Chanel said, " put out all your accessories and then take one off." Edit your shelves and rearrange often to give your room a revamping.
