I love books. I like owning physical copies of books. Sure there’s some convenience to e-reading, but nothing beats the real thing—holding a book, the feel in your hands, the scent of the pages. As a home organizer and minimalist, it’s unique that I also own a pretty good-sized collection of books. Books are one item that I never push my clients to get rid of, unless it’s something they want to purge. But, when you own a small library’s worth, it’s important to have a good system in place for sorting, organizing, and tracking what’s on your shelves.
It’s common to see those Instagram-worthy images of bookshelves decorated with a few color-coordinated books and the perfect balance of decorative elements. If that’s what you’re looking for,I have a post for that! But what about the people who’s shelves are filled with books?
