Decorating Tip 101: Your bookcases and shelves should always be organized. A messy bookshelf will make the whole room look cluttered. Shelving is not only a great way to organize books, but it's a great statement piece for any room.  Try adding some inspirational pieces and not just books. Here are some images to get excited for getting those bookcases neatly organized and perfectly decorated.

I love the color in this space. Great color inspiration for any kitchen or bathroom. Imagine how cluttered this space would look if it wasn't organized by color!

This bookshelf doubles as a room divider. I love how it not only divides the room, but it also lets the light in from the window to the other side of the space. Much better than an ordinary room divider.

Wow! This eclectic style is amazing! What's so great about this space is how pictures and pieces are incorporated with the books. I also love how the bookcases go all the way to the ceiling. Perfect for small spaces.

Simplicity at its best. Neutral colors, classic pieces. Where this bookcase lacks in books, it makes up in clean and class.

Another great example of simplicity. The first thing I notice is the books that are there are turned on their sides. This gives the shelving unit a wider, elongated look.

Some may think this is too cluttered, but if you place this bookshelf in the right space, gorgeous. Another eclectic style and great example of placement of those little trinkets.

Be careful decorating bookshelves around a tv. It could be too cluttered and you only want one focal point in the living area. Most of the time, the tv or the fireplace is the focal point. Keep it simple!
