Do's and Don'ts When Styling a Shelf or Console

Do's and Don'ts When Styling a Shelf or Console

When styling a shelf or console, creating visual interest is key!

A fantastic way to achieve this is by incorporating variety. Instead of lining up objects of similar height, consider playing with different heights to create visual triangles. This is a well-known design trick that utilizes the human brain's natural preference for patterns, particularly those in sets of three or odd numbers.

 

 

By arranging similar items in triangular formations across your shelves, you guide the viewer's eye on a pleasant journey. Without visual cohesiveness, our brains struggle to process information. It might not be conscious frustration, but our subconscious mind has a harder time processing cluttered or confusing arrangements.

 

 

The goal is to evoke a sense of happiness and ease when people see your shelves, not subconscious confusion. Introducing a mix of shapes alongside these height variations adds further intrigue and prevents your display from feeling monotonous.
