Big thank you to @housebeautiful for including my thoughts on 🌈organizing your books by the RAINBOW🌈 - Interior designer Amy Pigliacampo disagrees, swearing a rainbow is as smart a way to arrange books as any. "My brain organizes everything by ROYGBIV...even my phone apps are organized that way," she says. "If that works for you then it's a great system. If it makes you crazy, it's definitely not for you."
Some of my insights ⬇️
🌈Consider the negative spaces created by the books—mixing in stacks with vertical ones and even leaning some so that the beautiful covers are visible.
🌈Combine your books with personal artifacts, heirlooms, board games, folded blankets, baskets, curious objects, plants, and items that have softer lines that contrast the books themselves.
🌈Try variations of the rainbow with a tonal look, Pigliacampo suggests, focusing on a few colors that feel related like gold and brown, red and burgundy, or blues and greens.
