Meck Organizing’s own Nancy Meck was recently tapped in a Good Housekeeping article on the color coding bookshelf trend.
“How you arrange your books should be based on how you are using your books and your personal aesthetic. If they are set out mainly for decoration to warm up a space and provide interesting talking points, then color coding could be one option if the consistency or progression of color is visually appealing to you. Some dig it, some think it looks too staged.”
“Worst way to arrange them: Piled up and forgotten in the bottom of a box in the attic or other storage space. Use them or lose them. Their words and pictures do no one any good if they aren’t seen, accessible, and in good condition.”
