"Bookshelf Wealth" is the New Trend Designers Love As It Makes Homes Instantly Cozy — Here's How

A living room bookshelf .

Bookworms rejoice! There is an aesthetic trend dedicated to you and your brimming book collection - "Bookshelf Wealth". It's more than just a catchy name, bookshelf wealth is a 'whole home vibe', says the San Diego-based designer, Kailee Blalock of House of Hive, who last month posted about the look to an audience of 1.3 million viewers.

The aesthetic has exploded onto the interior design scene, but what exactly is it? We asked some of our favorite designers for five key indicators of bookshelf wealth, so you can diagnose your own bookshelf's wealth, and work on improving it. The designers suggest focusing on the intention of your bookshelf, stacking it with your favorite reads, keeping things ordered and curated, but also convinced us that bookshelf wealth is about creating a destination in your home. It's about carving out a space for cozying up with your favorite read.
