I must admit to having little patience for home decor, preferring function over fashion for everything from sofas to sinks.

But to add a little va-voom to my room, I drew inspiration from Marc Jacobs and Maria Von Trapp, and colour-blocked My Favourite Things: shoes and books.

Supplies
Your favourite things (doesn’t have to be shoes and books)
A shelf (IKEA works nicely)

Method
1. Put shoes on shelf.
2. Colour coordinate book jackets in a way that would infuriate a librarian but please Marc Jacobs.
3. Pile books from largest to smallest (or smallest to largest, if you feel a little naughty).

Et voila! Fashion meets function meets fabulous.
