The term “bookshelf wealth” is as charming as it sounds. This design trend centers around cozy lived-in spaces that reflect the lives of its inhabitants with personalized displays of books, trinkets, and more. These local projects embrace the trend on either side of the minimalist/maximalist spectrum.
