Built ins are so much fun to style but can definitely be overwhelming. My own built ins in my family room are in a constant state of change as I move things around and buy new things. It’s fun for me to play :)
Here are a couple of tips if you are going to update your shelves:
Start by taking everything off the shelves
Put the big items on the shelves first and make sure you have items that are various different heights and shapes
Use greenery (whether it’s real or faux)
Add in books

Happy Shopping!
