Twinkle spoke about arranging books by colour, and demonstrated how she styled her bookshelf – which was floor-to-ceiling – in rows of orange and yellow novels that transition into pinks and reds, then whites, purples and blues and finished at brown. In her caption, Twinkle shared her tips for styling a bookshelf. She wrote, "Leave space between stacks of books to display mementos. Add candles and artefacts as bookends. Using the delicious cheeky candle by our @thefarawaytreeindia here. Try making groups by using colour or size. Create interest by crafting horizontal and vertical stacks."

Twinkle further suggested using 'plants and flowers to add softness' to the bookshelf, and also said adding 'wonderful art' was another way to make the bookshelf stand out. She wrote, "Add beautiful pieces on top of your stacked books. Curvy and Joy Black candles are used here. Use plants and flowers to add softness and break symmetrical lines. Introduce texture with baskets and ceramics. Keep making adjustments till it feels right. Think in terms of layering. Add some wonderful art."

One person also requested Twinkle to give a better glimpse of her books collection. She commented on the video, "So many books!! Please please do a 'what's in my bookshelf' post." Another fan had a different request. She commented, "This is so good! Have been waiting for your reading recommendations for quite some time. Do share them if possible!"
