How to Style With Books

If someone had to ask me my favorite staple decor, it would definitely be books. No home is complete without a good set of “coffee table books” to display. Many people have the illusion that books are meant for just coffee tables and bookshelves; however, they can also be displayed many different ways. Check out my how-to below on ways you can style with them!

Displaying books under decor:

This is one of my favorite design tips. Take a stack of two to three books and place them under a piece of decor. This works great on furniture such as console tables and bar carts.

Showcase books on an etagere: 

Buy an etagere and display 1-2 of your favorite works. I usually like to display books that complement the rest of my interior. For example, I showcased a black book with gold & white accents on the cover.

Stack books under a lamp:

Give your lamp some extra height and glam by layering a few books underneath.

MY FAVORITE BOOKS TO DISPLAY

 When buying books to display, it’s important that you not only think about the topic, but the aesthetics as well. Try to choose books that match the interior of the space you’re placing them in.
