I went to work styling one of the hardest spaces in my home: fireplace shelves. And the consensus from the rest of you on Instagram is that it’s such a nightmare for you, too. An empty canvas for you to fill with pieces that reflect you, styled well, and doesn’t cost you a fortune. Yikes. The thought of styling shelves is overwhelming and it is often so difficult to even know how to start. How do I arrange everything to look good? How should I group items together? Should I arrange by size or by color or both?
Tomorrow I’m sharing how I styled my shelves, all the design secrets that all the pros use, and all the pieces that I used to achieve the look. Get ready for that one…it’s a BIG ONE!!
Today, I’m sharing my next edition of Save Vs. Splurge, and it’s the Shelf Decor Edition! I’ve taken beautiful high-end pieces that will look good on the shelves of every home and I’ve found equally gorgeous, high-quality, but much more budget-friendly pieces for you to shop!
