These are the clever words of Lili Diallo, a highly regarded prop stylist whose work appears regularly in
domino,
Town & Country and
O, to name a few. In her
Brooklyn loft above, Diallo sticks to a limited color palette and pays close attention to balance and scale. The result is a collection of objects that tell a story about her life. Check out some more of my favorite examples below. (Click on each image to really get a feel for them:)

I agree about the objects! BTW: you've used so many of my favorites here.
Lovely. I'm currently trying to style my shelves and this is a wonderful reminder of what works... and what does not. Thank you.
You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful! And Courtney- I always get excited to hear you say that because it means I've picked some good ones ;)
Great post! I love bookshelves with a nice mix of books and objects. I dream of the day when the walls of my home office have built-ins! Seriously, dream of it.
