An environment where bookshelves become cluttered and everything gets mixed up is, we believe, one of the most common situations faced by book lovers. We can undoubtedly say that this is a result of a love for books. However, after a while, since it becomes difficult to take a book from the shelves, it is necessary to engage in the task of organizing the bookshelf at regular intervals.
Moreover, organizing the bookshelf is an extremely enjoyable activity. Getting lost among the book pages, discovering hidden gems in the corner, finding sources long sought after, reviewing collections, can be considered one of the activities that bookworms will enjoy the most.
However, since a special time period needs to be allocated for organizing the bookshelf, this task is continually postponed to a later date amidst the daily hustle and bustle; yet that date never arrives. If this situation sounds familiar to you, how about taking a step with us today?
The arrangement of the bookshelf or library, which is one of the important parts of home decoration, will also complete the general theme of your home, so we recommend that you do not delay organizing your bookshelf any further. Since you have started reading this content, we can predict that you are ready to take a step as well. Let's simplify the bookshelf organizing process together with the guidance of Doğtaş, the architect of style and harmony.
Before arranging your books, which have accumulated over the years, we would like to offer a few tips that you should also consider for your home decoration.

If your current bookshelf is not sufficient for your books that you have enjoyed reading over the years, then it may be time to choose a new bookshelf. After all, to protect and carefully preserve your books accumulated over the years, you'll need a quality bookshelf.
On the other hand, you should not forget that the library at home, that is, your bookshelf, should have enough capacity to hold new books you will acquire. Therefore, considering your current needs along with your future needs would be beneficial when choosing a bookshelf.
For example, Doğtaş's Terra Bookshelf product, with its decorative appearance and large capacity, appears to be quite an ideal option. Especially for displaying your books in areas like the living room and lounge, it will become a very functional and aesthetic choice.
To start organizing your bookshelf, you can first place all your books into large boxes. This way, without creating clutter in your living area, you can line up your books in boxes and have the opportunity to place them practically on your bookshelf later.
While placing books in boxes, you should also be aware that you are actually practicing arranging your bookshelf. Accordingly, it will be to your advantage to place your books according to a certain order even when boxing them.
We suggest setting aside the books you no longer want to keep in your bookshelf, perhaps ones that were very useful to you in the past, but have outlived their usefulness in your home and could meet the needs of others.
This way, while preventing such books from causing clutter in your bookshelf, you also have the opportunity to help other people who may need them. To ensure these books you set aside reach new owners, you can consult charities or schools in your vicinity.
If you have carefully reviewed all the items so far, now it's time for the most fun stage of the bookshelf organizing process! If you are ready to journey through time while examining your books and ultimately have an organized bookshelf, we can list our organizing suggestions.
While selecting a book from your bookshelves, you can arrange your books in an alphabetical order based on their names according to this method, which will significantly ease your life. Although it may not be as aesthetically pleasing as some of our other suggestions, organizing bookshelves alphabetically is said to be one of the most preferred solutions due to the convenience it offers.
Organizing books by cover color, a method we can say is one of the favorite organizing methods, requires you to base it on the color of the book covers. Especially if you have a large number of books, this method will not only allow you to achieve a stylish appearance, it’s also possible to significantly contribute to your home decoration.

Another method preferred for bookshelf organization is arranging books according to their height. This method, which ensures that the bookshelf appears organized and aesthetic, prevents the unorganized appearance that books with significantly different heights could create.
This method, frequently used especially in children's and young adults' rooms, will allow you to easily reach your favorite books. Allocating each shelf to just one book genre will facilitate your task in this sense.
However, if you have many books belonging to one genre, it may require you to use multiple shelves. At this point, choosing a large bookshelf can also be beneficial. Our Palermo Pera Bookshelf product will considerably ease your task when organizing books by genre.
We previously mentioned that organizing the bookshelf is not a process independent of decoration. In this sense, to integrate your bookshelf with your home and make it more aesthetic, you can utilize complementary decorative products such as a bookend, which have an eye-catching design and functionality.
