10 Bookshelves And Libraries Arranged By Color

Over the years, there have been discussions about the pros and cons of color-coordinating your bookshelves. Some speculate that those who do this, don’t actually read, but use their books as decoration only. As it so happens, I’m totally for the rainbow shelving look. And I’m an avid reader. Here are ten beautiful displays of shelves beautifully-styled in rainbow fashion!
