Failure to do this, you might just end up spending more time than necessary carrying out the project since if you get it all wrong, you would have no option than to start all over again.

Styling and decorating your bookshelf:
If you have a bookshelf that is not very full, leaving it bland would make the shelf look plain. One sure way of making the bookshelf attractive is by adding your favorite decorative items or even family and personal pictures. It is all up to you to decide how you wish to categorize the books in your shelf. You can choose to have them categorized by title, author or subject. Other options that would work very well for you include categorizing your books by colors and heights. If possible, let the books you have read be arranged differently from the ones you have not read. These options make it easier for you to get books when you need them.
