Styling a bookshelf can be tricky, but not if you have mood boards and ideas in front of you! Soon, you’ll be able to know how to style a bookshelf like a pro!
Bookshelves are the piece of a room that brings in the cozy. They make you want to curl up somewhere next to it and relax with a good book.
Some might choose just to store books and nothing else, (which is perfectly okay!) while others want to add a little extra, like a bookend or decor.
I’ve put together a few mood boards and links to the items so you can style your bookshelf with ease!
I hope you find an idea that will suit your home!

Coastal Bookshelf
This style is simple with a little bit of Coastal. I love the light tones and splash of color and contrast!
1) Black Candles
Since this entire bookshelf consists of mostly whites and wooden, adding a little bit of black will bring in the contrast you need.
2) Wooden BookEnd
Wooden bookends are simple and go great with any collection of books.
3) Art Piece
Adding an art piece for a bookshelf that will sit out in your living room, will change the entire look completely.
4) Wooden Bowl
A simple wooden bowl will work great as a decor piece. You can choose to fill it up with personal items or leave it empty as is. Either way, it will look amazing!
5) Woven Tray
For a larger bookshelf that needs more space filled, adding a woven tray will do just the job!
6) Wooden Beads
Wooden beads are the perfect tray filler. They don’t make the area look clustered but fill it in just enough.
7) Small Plant
For a little more color, plants are your friends! Choose faux or live and watch them transform your space!
8) Woven Plant Pot
How cute are these woven plant pots! Adding your plant to a pot like this will keep the light tones going across the entire bookshelf.
9) Long Wooden Tray
For the very bottom shelf, add a wooden tray and/or vase to complete this style. You can add more books or choose to leave as is like shown above.
10) White Vase
This unique vase will add to the different textures making the shelf look more elegant.
Cottage Bookshelf
This Cottage style bookshelf is perfect for a person who lives for the cozy vibe!
1) Mushroom Figurines
How adorable are these mushroom figurines! They’ll go perfectly with the books and cozy atmosphere.
2) Hanging Plant
You have to have a hanging plant on your cottage-themed bookshelf! A plant like this makes it seem like the books are living in their own little world!
3) Bunny Book Ends
Now, what is a cozy bookshelf without animals to help hold the books! These adorable little bunnies know what they’re doing!
4) Kitten Book Ends
Add more contrast with these black kittens! They go well with the entire theme and are super cute!
