Rainbow Bookshelf 

Over the time you’ve seen a lot of bookshelves on Freshome, but what I’ve found today is really impressive. I was browsing Flickr and I found this beautiful example of organizing books by color and the smart guy that managed to do it, is user chotda. This is a very good way of changing the whole aspect of a bookshelf with a little bit of creativity. I guess you’ll have to pay more attention to the book’s cover from now on if you want to reproduce that effect and have your own rainbow bookshelf.

    [...] This is a neat idea if ever there was one, plus it will sattisfy the book lover in the loft liver. Lose the horrible slippy, over-glossy sleeves from your library shelf and see what happens.. Chances are you will be presented with something like this: a rainbow array of your literatures true colours. This interior design idea has no doubt been seen before – but these images show it beautifully. Besides, if you find a dull collection of grey spines under your books covers.. you can always bow to your style conscience and buy new ones you’ll never read. Thanks to Smashing Magazine who flagged this one to my attention.. although I think it originally cropped up at freshome. [...]
