Books can go anywhere in your home. They can be displayed on bookshelves in your home office, as stacks in your living room, propped vertically, and displayed similar to how art on your wall is displayed, or even, open on a coffee table to start a conversation.

When shopping for books to use, remember in this case, it’s encouraged to judge a book by it’s cover. The books you choose to display reflect you. Choose books that you’re interested in and look pretty. There are books about an array of subjects. You can choose books about your hometown, a book showcasing your favorite photographer, destinations you want to travel to, or interior design.

Books stacked in two or threes. Remember, if you’re styling to circle table, it’s sometimes best to style it as a triangle with books.

Pick out large books, these books that will make a statement. Books with color and width are the perfect addition to any room. You can even choose books based on a color scheme and stack them together. To style a table, use only a few books. For a clean look, place the largest book on the bottom of your stack. You can use other accessories on top, such as lamps or vases. It will add symmetry and give height to your objects.
