Simple Shelf Styling

Styling open shelving can be daunting, but using three elements can really help. Dishes, Decor and Greenery!

Grab any dishes, cake plates, decor and greenery you would like to use. Shop your home for fun elements to add!

Add sections at a time, intermixing the dishes and decor until you like the look. Add greenery to enhance bare spots.

Step back and make sure you like the look. Generally ones and threes of anything look best to the eye. Rearrange until it suits you.

Enjoy your shelving!
