Position them within easy-reach (middle-section shelves for most, depending on your height) to save you having to find them each time. If you're considering reading nook ideas, this is the perfect opportunity to create a smaller group of your favorite books, or those you need access to most regularly, separately from your primary organization system.
It also means they can find their favorite book without pulling everything out as even before they can read, they know what color their favorite book is’. ‘Color coordinating your bookshelf means your child can easily put things back.

If you’re organizing a bookshelf with children in mind, professional organizer Kathryn Lord of More to Organising (opens in new tab) says:
#Book shelf full#
If you don’t have the book collection – or the inclination – to create a full rainbow spectrum, simply color block your shelves to complement your room’s color palette. To create a stylish ombre effect, organize book jacket colors from dark to light, bottom to top – black, navy and charcoal books on the top shelf, white on the bottom, with all the colors in between. Unless you’re someone who remembers books based on their covers, we’d recommend reserving it for bookshelves you don’t access very often. Organizing a bookshelf in order of color is not the most practical method but it’s certainly the most aesthetically pleasing and one way to style a bookshelf. The only downside is remembering who wrote what… but if you’re someone who has a few favorite authors, this might be the system for you. Be sure to let everyone in the household know to avoid any confusion.Īnother option is to arrange alphabetically based on the author’s last name, like they do in bookshops and libraries. If you’re alphabetizing based on the book’s title, you’ll likely have quite a few books that start with ‘A’ and ‘The’, so you’re best of leaving out the first word and organize based on the second word in the title instead. It might not be the most creative way to arrange and organize books, but it certainly makes it quick and easy to find what you’re looking for. If it’s a bookshelf that you frequent regularly, we’d recommend an alphabetized system.
There are several ways to order books, so think about what makes the most sense for your home library ideas. Position these away from your ‘keep’ collection temporarily, perhaps a week or two, somewhere you can easily see them, then take your time deciding whether to move any of them over to your main collection. If you’re still struggling to decide, we recommend creating a ‘maybe’ pile.
