Books are not just for reading
Undeniably treasure troves of knowledge, entertainment, and wonder, books are among the most precious things anyone could collect. Books however, don’t always have to end up cloistered up in a library, collecting dust on the bookshelves. What if you use books as part of your interior design?
Many designers suggest using carefully placed bits and pieces in your rooms to add a touch of character to your surroundings. Most commonly used are large and often colorful coffee table books that speak volumes of your interests while adding an interesting – and not to mention – interactive piece of accent to your receiving areas.
You could also consider color-coding your books on the shelf, stacking books on an end table to add a bit of texture, or even commissioning a painting inspired by your favorite read. There truly are a lot you can do with a little help from the books.
