You can start by arranging things in order. Keep artwork on the shelves, and arrange them from largest to the smallest size, so they take up less space. It's also good practice to bring new artifacts into your home- think of how different colors will look with this design choice. There are many ways that you could decide where everything goes. Even numbers or odd numbers work well for some people, but it all depends on what works best for your needs. With ornate metal bookcases, you can add vases with flowers to make THEM look more exotic. Using other metallic additions that accentuate the style of your room is also an option. The result will be nothing short of spectacular.
