This is such a cool study. -
On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.When we got married it was fun finding the books we had two of. There were a lot. We put a book plate in them and gave them as wedding favors.

The distinctively-patterned Caribbean Banded Carpenter Ant, Camponotus zonatus.@alexwild
I looked up the species and they *do* have majors with the typical wide heads, but this worker who is a median or a minor has a rather long head that reminds me of Camponotus mirabilis— -
@dasgrueneblattYou might be better off putting a floor to ceiling shelf behind the couch, then use the blocked shelves for hidden storage of rarely used items.
To anchor a floating shelf, strong enough for books it will need to be attached to the joists in your wall even then it can introduce a lot of strain.

None of the kitchens in the "small kitchens design ideas" are as small as my kitchen.Blue is rare but not unheard of so no?

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.I'm envious of people who have shelves and don't know how to fill them. I'm over here planning to put extra shelving above the door.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Math books are my most colorful books and each subject has a full spectrum of colors.
But my books on ants are all either white green or black for some reason.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.That's not a method to store books you use. It's decorative.
If I put my books that way all of my husband's books would look WORSE since there are so many post-it notes and tabs sticking out. And any book I've taken to school (most of them) have my last name written on the spine in big black letters if it's a textbook so no one would take it.
I don't want to see that.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.They need to be. Books are heavy and it might sound romantic to die being crushed by your book collection but it is NOT cute.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.I don't know if I agree that interior design isn't for everyone. Some of the best most inviting spaces have been designed and curated by people with no budget. It's like art, it's for everyone and money can't really make up for taste and creativity.
It's also WORK and takes time to make a space better, more functional, good looking, someone needs to care about it.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Do you mean the stack-able ones? I've found that with the book collection I have I really just need very tall shelves, and the cubes can't stack high enough. But there are also some cube systems that can go higher I think.
-
On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.You need twice as many bookshelves. I made a "book wall" to divide my living room since we ran out of walls. You might need to do that.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.I love this!
It's just a little moment of joy when normally seeing a bunch of coats and ski gear in a pile would make me sad.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Most closet shelves are not sturdy enough to hold books. I have considered the concept of having a "book closet" then I could put most of the books in there and close the door for a more minimalist feeling.
But I like to look at the shelf and scan the titles while I'm working. I would end up sitting in the damn closet so it wouldn't work.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.At least for me the color sorting makes it easier to find the book I'm looking for. I know some people will do a subject shelf sorted by author, or alphabetically, or subtopic... But, if I'm looking at "discrete math books" I won't remember the title. I remember "it was in the light blue one" -- so color helps.
From across the room it looks less jumbled. You also notice how different subjects have different color pallets. Which is neat.
Also, alpha sorting will NOT stay sorted. Color will.

On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.It can be hard to understand that getting rid of short shelves to make space for full-sized ones is worth it. Or that was hard for me. I kept thinking "but I need more shelves"
Not like this. This little thing is too tiny.
-
On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.And here is my most controversial one:
Sort your books by SIZE first. The size dictates the shelf height and one tall book can waste a lot of space. (not controversial)
Next by subject. Have the same topic, or author, or genre on the same shelf. (not controversial)
Last, on each shelf sort them by color. It will make the shelf look less chaotic. People get mad about this since it's "looks over function" but if you have a subject shelf you'll be able to find your books.
-
On thing that drives me nuts about interior design advice is it doesn't start from the non-negotiables often enough.Consider that if your shelves are not all packed when you want to buy another book no one can say "but where will you put it?"
You see? This is a good one.
