Amazing Rainbow Bookshelf Organized by Color

June 11, 2008

bookshelf, originally uploaded by chotda.

I found this amazing photo from chotda while searching Google for “books organized by color” since this is what my project was today for my huge stacks of books in the bedroom. I wanted to arrange them by color and my variation is a tad different.

I made small sections of each color of books, and then laid some of the piles horizontally on out TV shelving console; sort of as book-ends. Then I added some family photos on top of each horizontal one. I really love the way it turned out. But I am still in complete awe of this photo….If only I had more room to amass a ton more books…LOL! I already have way too many!!!

    This is great. I could never do it because I like my books sorted by subject then size. I can’t stand the color variants though so my solution might be to cover them all in parchment paper. It protects them too.

    Can you show pictures of your project?

    This is wonderful & would so fun to do if I had that many books, or colors for that matter! It’s still a fun idea, thanks!

    Wow! I love this. I wish I was this organized. I did a little bookshelf in my hallway something like this, but nothing this great.

    [...] that is full of books, and you can find a bookshelf to fit any home decor style. For extra fun, try arranging your books by color [...]

    I have mine separated by subject and then by self, but I really like what you have. Brilliant, and much more visually attractive. I may have to reconsider my organizational strategy.

    Cheers,

    Mark
