Essential Tips for Organising Bookcases For Your Office

Are you unsure how to organise your bookcase to make it look its best? Whether the furniture is for your in-home or separate business office, here are essential tips to make the item look its best, so that it enhances your space.

Add Accessories for Variety

While it’s tempting to simply put books onto the shelves, it’s wise to add variety to the items you use to stock the shelves in ways that please the eye. Great accessories to use include vases, framed photos, figurines or candles. Spread them out across the shelves to balance out the books and create visual interest. If you have clients in your office, they will appreciate the efforts taken to decorate the space.

Choose Items that Reflect Your Business

While you could simply add random figurines and photos to the bookcase, be selective as to what you choose to include there. We suggest you pick items that reflect your business purpose as that will help the item blend into your office space well. If your business is a law firm, for example, you may want to include Lady Justice bookends. While your bookcase is functional as it holds your books, it also reflects and enhances your business reputation with the additional items you place on it.

Books: Types and Placement

Of course, the primary reason for a bookcase is usually for books. As with the accessories you choose, variety is important for the reading materials. Therefore, select a range of books that have different coloured covers and place them at different angles on the shelves to draw interest. For example, place books on the top shelf of the French Gardens 4 Shelf Bookcase horizontally and then put the ones on the shelf below it vertically. For this French Gardens furniture item, the shelves are easy to access, so it makes sense to select reference reading material for it that you and your staff access often.

Bookcases come in a range of design styles, dimensions and materials. By taking time with organising bookshelves, you can enhance the office space and also show your business style to clients.
