Take a look at these designers approach to shelf organization...

Love how these are color coded..

File bins and boxes hide the the clutter..and makes it easier to find your stuff!

Kitchen shelves need organizational love too! Keep your kitchen cookware with its matching set and place neatly on shelf for easy access.

No need for a fancy china cabinet when your china set is displayed on open shelves. Each item is displayed evenly making for a crisp and clean look...I love it!

The great thing about design is that you can make things up as you go. When all the items you want are on your shelf step back and check if everything is balanced. If there are too many things in one area of the shelf, move it around. Spread out the big bulky items and combine them with the small and light ones to bring it all together. ~MG
