Unique bookends

Make your bookshelf an attention-grabber (not to mention a jaw-dropper!) with unique bookends. Whether you choose an option from the animal kingdom, an industrial-inspired version or a beachy showpiece, look for luxe materials and sheens in neutral tones. Think glossy acrylics, solid marble and shimmery gold.

Bookshelf styling 101

The most intruging shelfscapes look like they came together slowly over time. But if you want style stat, we created this variation on our high and low shelving in less than five minutes. With our five pro tips, you can, too. 1 Step up your end game. Bookends that are this pretty deserve to be in the spotlight: Display them solo or atop a pile of books. 2 Breathe life. Incorporate greenery for a bright, tactile element. No one does texture better than Mother Nature. 3 Stack this way. Arrange books in small groups, set both vertically and horizontally for visual interest. 4 Surprise! Lend depth by weaving in unexpected pieces, such as this miniature armchair and golden nugget. 5 Pull it together. Keep the look cohesive with a distinct colour palette. Here, for instance, we covered a few tomes in paper in the same hue as the wall.

Sofa apart

Two sleek grey sofas, two very different price tags. Why the $4,360 gap? While the Low sofa is machine made using cost-saving materials, the High is handmade by skilled craftspeople using low-VOC finishes, including certified sustainable wood, a flame-retardant reneweable soy-based foam and organic linen. High: Randall sofa with organic linen Farrow fabric in silver. elte.com, $5,755. Low: Allen sofa with cotton Lenna fabric in steel. eltemkt.com, $1,395.

DIY: Magazine holder art

Camouflage run-of-the-mill magazine holders as one large art piece. Look for a graphic photo in your own albums, scour the web or reach out to an Instagram favourite (we go ours from @roberttravelpics). Print the image large enough to cover the backs of all the holders. Measure and cut it into equal segments and attach them to the back of each holder using spray adhesive. Set the holders side by side for a showstopping display that can stash a ton of stuff. Plywood Knuff magazine holders, ikea.ca, $13 per pair.
