GET THE LOOK: BOOKSHELVES

The Wing set up shop in New York last year as a space for women to work and come together in. It’s not only a brilliant idea, but also a stylish one: for here is a space that feels fun, glamorous and modern all at once. It’s definitely a space to get inspired in, and we find The Wing’s eclectic, gelato-hued shelves particularly inspiring.

 

It’s easy enough to achieve this look in your own home or workspace – all you need are a few pieces in shades of pink (Millennial, please), mint, ocean-blue, apricot and grey. Group like-minded colours together on shelves, mixing and matching different objects and shapes together for a dynamic look that’s far from dull, yet utterly in harmony. If you really want to make the colour scheme work, you could go a step further and cover all your books in wrapping paper in this season’s edible pastel hues.

 

Whichever path you choose to take, you’ll need some ideas to get you started. Read on for our compilation of the top new tomes on the market, and divine decorative items on our wish list right now.
