The Home Style Guide: Stunning Book Display Ideas to Try
Are you a bookworm that hoards all of your favorite reads? Perhaps you’re an academic whose house is overflowing with books. Either way, give your books the honor they deserve with a stunning display.
Not sure where to start? You’ve come to the right place. Check out these book display ideas that double as a beautiful interior design element.
Color Coordinated Book Displays
Opt for modern bookshelf decor by color coordinating your books. This is a fun and quirky way to organize your books while bringing in a noticeable design factor.
Avoid making it look too regimented by adding books of similar hues in no particular order, rather than from light to dark, or vice versa.
The rainbow pop of color is a great idea for a playroom or a bedroom. On the other hand, color-coded books on an industrial bookcase work well in a study or living room.
False Wall Alcoves
Functional, sleek, and aesthetic, displaying books in wall alcoves are sleek book organization at its best. These alcoves can be built almost anywhere, so you can get really creative.
A false wall behind the bed creates a beautiful ‘headboard’ that you can adorn with your favorite novels and personal decorative items.
Alcoves in the kitchen are great for displaying cookbooks, while those in the living room are a good option for coffee-table-style books.
Reading Nook
There are few cozier or more inviting spaces than a reading corner. This is not only one of the best ways to display books, but it’s also extra space in your home to curl up with your favorite read.
Simply choose bookcase options and comfortable armchairs that match your home’s aesthetic to create the ideal reading nook.
An Open Home Library
Rather than creating a dedicated book display or using bookshelves, why not experiment with an open home library that flows throughout the house? This is a fantastic interior design tip for dedicated bookworms.
Display books all throughout your home in interesting ways so that every room has a touch of literature.
Stack books on open ledges spread them out on coffee tables, and display them on open cookbook stands in the kitchen.
Turn Your Study into a Library
What better room to transform into a mini library than your study or home office? It’s a stunning way to add life to your office walls by lining them with bookshelves and books.
If you have the space, add a comfy reading chair in the corner of the room or close to the window. This will help separate your reading downtime from productive work time.
