Calling all Marie Kondo fans! Well, that’s all of us, right? Who can resist the supreme organizing that is the KonMari method. A home that’s clutter-free, calm and that sparks joy gets a big thumbs-up from us.
Back when Marie first hit our screens with her Netflix series there was plenty of overreaction to her decluttering and tidying. The gist of the screaming headlines? That it was all too drastic. Fans know better, it’s a vastly sensible and achievable way to deal with all the stuff we have in our homes.
Fellow Marie Kondo followers will also know that there’s plenty of room for creativity and gorgeousness in her world, and the book storage idea Marie shared on Insta was the perfect example with shelves suspended from rope alongside a staircase. As the organizing expert says, "Be sure to keep them upright, but get creative!"
You can take inspiration from this Marie Kondo-approved shelving idea, just below, to help build out some more book storage ideas in your home.
