Cube shelves are a great way to organize clutter and keep your home looking stylish. These popular storage solutions are a great place to keep books, knick knacks, jewelry, and dishware. We’ve compiled some styling tips so you can arrange your items beautifully and create the statement piece of your dreams.

1

Pick a color palette.

  1. Make your shelves look more cohesive by sticking with particular colors. Try to pick about 4 colors that work well together and repeat them often throughout your shelves. You can choose colors that mimic what’s in your décor already, or you can make your cube shelves a statement piece with bright, eye-catching colors.[1]
    • You could try using neons, pastels, primary colors, or earth tones.
    • If you’re working with books, this might not be super easy. You can choose whether or not to follow a color palette on a bookshelf.

    You might put your hair products in 1 cube, like your flat iron, hairbrushes, and hair products. Then, you could dedicate another cube toward your skincare products, like your cotton balls, makeup remover, and moisturizer. Make sure each cube is organized according to a specific category.

    You could use 1 cube for all of your snacks, and another for paper products and paper bags. Then, you might use your third cube to store some water bottles.

    Expert Answer
    Not really. I recommend using each cube for a distinct type of use or item, but other than that the world is your oyster. This is one of the main reasons people really love cube shelves; they're super versatile.
