Shelves aren’t just for organizing books anymore, they can also showcase lovely objects, vases, planters and homewares that can make your space complete.

The RJ Living team showcases how to style homewares that create balance while also mixes styles.

Design Tip #1: Keep it simple

Cluster homewares together on either end of the piece to create a balanced, harmonious look.

Design Tip #2: Cluster similar colours

Style your shelf by clustering homewares of similar colours together.

Design Tip #3: Choose your shelf well

This shelf is not only practical but is also a beautiful statement piece that pops out when placed against a wall.

Design Tip #4: Pick favourites

Get your favourite two or three colours and find homewares, cushions and foliage in these colour tones to style a perfectly curated shelf.
