    I never knew shelving could be so sleek and modern! I love how these built-in shelves match the wall, so you almost forget there is shelving there and can really focus on the cute, colorful items on the shelves instead. And the varying heights make these shelves perfect for storing just about anything from books to DVDs to CDs (yes, some of us still have CDs!).

    When decorating your home, one of the biggest challenges is finding a style you love that also works with the space you have and fits into your lifestyle. In my case, I would love a sleek, minimalist, clutter-free living room. This, however, is impossible because I just plain have too much stuff. And as much as I'd love a room full of empty space and carefully chosen statement pieces, I also love owning things--books, DVDs, framed photos, etc.--and the fact is, I need somewhere to put these things. So I am left with the challenge of finding a cute storage option. Luckily, the Internet is full of inspiration and it turns out, shelves can be surprisingly stylish. Here are 8 modern spaces that combine style and function. - By Gabrielle Blair
