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.

I’m glad none of these involve cutting or ripping books apart – there’s so much DIY out there doing that and it hurts to watch haha great post!
Thank you! The thought of ripping books apart makes me cringe!
