Decorating a home can be pretty challenging and expensive, especially for new homeowners. But there are plenty of tricks you can use to make your home comfy and modern on a budget. One of the tricks that became widely popular a few years ago is organizing bookshelves by color in order to decorate and brighten up any room.

The color-coded bookshelf trend took the world by storm and for good reason. It’s an effective and inexpensive way to decorate your home by rearranging the books you own and organizing them by color. However, it seems like the design trend that most of us liked at first went too far once people started buying books by the foot in order to decorate their homes.

Now you can find all kinds of decorative book sets online, some of them are real but there are fake books as well. The only thing you need to do is to pick the right size and color for your bookshelves. The whole point of using and rearranging the books you already own to brighten up your home seems to be lost, which is why many interior designers are now questioning this trend.
