Make sure the pieces you choose have different scales and that they are made using a variety of styles. It helps you to get rid of the monotony that comes with displaying pieces that look alike. Since an etagere is meant to give elegance to your room, you need to avoid dull, drab pieces as much as possible.
When it comes to the size, make sure you pick items with different widths, heights, and so on. For instance, you may place a small bottle next to a large one. If the things have the same size, then create stature by placing them on books stacked in a graduated manner. The purpose of varying the proportions and scale is to give the eyes an attractive visual path.
Make It as Minimalist as Possible

While an etagere is meant to display certain items, it isn’t a storage cabinet as such. That is why you should never crowd it with too many items. Carefully select items to display, ensuring that they can complement the etagere without leaving it too overcrowded. If anything, a few elegant pieces will turn any etagere into a competent centre of attraction.
Say No to Clutter
It is very tempting for an etagere owner to try and display all types of trash. As much as the shelves may entice you to use them for storing mail and other loose items, don’t fall for the temptation. If you do, then the items are going to pile up and create a mess you wouldn’t want to look at. Only display art pieces, ceramic dishes, decorative bowls, and so on.
Personalize
Why would you want to design your home to look the same as another? A little bit of personalization needs to go into the design process. You can implement this by choosing the right etagere and then styling it in line with your personality. For example, you may want to include your favorite books, family photos, and other decorative items. Look for artefacts and mementoes you acquired on a trip abroad and display them on the etagere. Not only will the viewed items catch your eye, but it will also appeal to your guests when they make a stopover.
