Shelf-Expression

Is redecorating at the top of your task list in 2024? Work with our talented team at Semmelmann Interiors to create accessories unique to you for a stylish shelf refresh! These often overlooked spaces are perfect opportunities to showcase your interests. We recommend embracing the less-is-more mantra by keeping your shelves clean and uncluttered so carefully selected pieces will stand out. A few ideas for decor are geometric sculptures, monochromatic vases, or sleek metallic accents to maintain a minimalist vibe. You can also curate shelves around a particular theme or interest. Display a collection of vintage cameras, ceramic vases, or even quirky figurines. Grouping items creates visual interest and tells a story about your passions. Combine various textures to add depth and visual intrigue like woven baskets paired with glossy ceramics to create a sensory experience. Don’t underestimate how plants both literally and figuratively breathe life into a space with lush florals and greenery! You can also treat your shelves as mini art galleries with paintings resting against the wall or as mini libraries with a collection of books and decorative bookends. Personal mementos like framed photographs, travel souvenirs, and family heirlooms all add a touch of sentimentality to make your shelves truly personalized. Create symmetry by arranging identical items in pairs on either side. Alternatively, embrace asymmetry by arranging items of different sizes and shapes for an eclectic look. Balance is key! Together, let’s create a dynamic shelf display to celebrate shelf-expression! Design/image credit to @tarekalkhattab @covethouse_ @covetcollection_ @jamal_zein_
