1
Arrange books on the shelf. Store books you don't want little hands to have access to on the top shelves, as she will eventually be able to reach them. Arrange the books in descending height order; tallest to shortest. Leave space on the ends of or in the middle of these shelves.

Place decorative baskets on the bottom shelves of this piece of furniture. Choose baskets that match the colors of the room, or that suit your taste. For example, white baskets with pink liners in a pink and white bedroom. Fill these baskets with toys, providing your little one with easy access to her play things.

Display keepsakes and collections on the top of the shelves of the bookshelf. Place trinkets, pictures and other decorative items in the spaces left between or at the end of the arrangements of books. For a princess-themed room, display decorative tiaras and princess fairy wands. In a flower-themed room, drape garlands of silk flowers along the edges of the shelves and display watering cans and crystal butterflies on the shelves, perhaps.

Use the top of the bookshelf as a display area, as well. Use this location to display larger items so that they won't interfere with the book collection; for example, collectible dolls, a ballet-inspired piggy bank and decorative vase filled with real or artificial bouquets.
