It’s the Chinese New Year spring cleaning season again. As we tidied up the whole house, why not give your bookshelf a new look?

Here are a few ways to upgrade your bookshelves for that Instagrammable look, without burning a hole in your pocket.

1) Colour coding

Want that Instagrammable look? Try colour coding all your books. Colour coordinated bookshelves are bound to give the room a refreshing look! 

2) Judge the book by the cover

Instead of book spines, put your favourite book covers on display! 

Turn out the books with the best designed or memorable book covers. Front-facing books will also remind the readers about the fascinating stories they told.

3) Put in some greens

Bookshelves are not meant for books only. Spice up your reading corner with some greens. 

Succulents fit perfectly with bookshelves as it requires less effort to keep up than the other plants.

Don’t have time to take care of the plants? Try the following way:

4) Accessories

Decorate the bookshelves with memorabilia from your last travel, photos, and pictures to make the space more vibrant!

Put your collectibles with the books would be a good choice too.

Too many colours and prefer something more clean-cut? Try the following curation

5) Only blue, black, and white book spines are facing out

Best suited for the book readers who love to have some elements of mystery. 

It is also aesthetically pleasing for those who prefer simplistic arrangements.
