Rainbow collection
Who says your bookshelf can’t be a work of art? Channel your inner artist and arrange your books by colour. Picture this: a vibrant spectrum of reds, oranges, yellows, greens, blues, indigos, and violets lining up to create a mesmerizing rainbow effect. It’s not just an organized bookshelf; it’s a visual delight!
But there is a downfall to this, especially if a series of books don’t have the same colour. Your books could be scattered throughout your shelves, making them hard to find. It does look mesmerizing though.
By genre, of course

Maybe you’re someone who loves diving deep into different genres. Why not give each genre its own space? Mystery, romance, sci-fi, fantasy—they all deserve their spotlight! It’s like creating mini worlds on your shelf, making it easy to navigate through your collection based on your mood.

Sans book jackets
For the hardcore hardcover aficionados out there, why not ditch the jackets and let the raw beauty of those hardcovers shine? Embracing the natural colours and textures of the book spines creates a sleek and cohesive vibe, turning your shelf into an Instagram-worthy aesthetic.
Dewey, is that you?
Go old school and organize your books alphabetically or even channel your inner librarian with the Dewey Decimal System. It’s not just organization; it’s a trip down memory lane to those library days when finding books was an adventure in itself.

Read vs unread.
For the perpetual ‘what to read next?’ conundrum, here’s a fun twist! Hide the spines of unread books, creating a guessing game for yourself. Pick your next adventure blindly, adding an element of surprise and anticipation to your reading escapades.
