When it comes to decorating with books, most people need a little introduction to the subject. Because the most common and popular method of this type of decorating, probably around the world, is with open shelves and cabinets, and this is often the easiest way to quickly introduce some life into a simple environment. Decorating with books is definitely fun. Do you sometimes feel a certain boredom from the electronic noise around you? It's amazing how in the modern world of iPads and Kindles the good old book still retains its place as it did a few decades ago!
There are those of us who like and proudly display their favorite books in the living room. Others, however, just want to fill that empty space with a few colorful magazines and books without ever thinking about the exact contents inside! No matter which group you belong to, here are a few tips on how to stylishly decorate your living room with books!
1. A library
Do you have an extensive collection of books that you love? Why not make it the focal point of the living room by creating a stunning book wall and letting the books take center stage? Shelves from floor to ceiling will quickly become an eye-catcher in the living room! Give your interior a warm, cozy touch and display your books on this accent wall! You can emphasize the library style even more with a ladder on wheels that complements your beautiful bookcase!
2.More visual and geometric contrast!
For those who don't have an extensive book collection, there are other options. Shelves positioned at an angle do this job beautifully and they also allow you to arrange your favorite titles in a trendy, casual way. Modern bookshelves come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and you can even create custom hexagonal bookshelves, zigzag shelves, or other cool compositions with books in an ingenious way. It would be best if you place these shelves around the entertainment center in the living room or in the corner of the bedroom.
3. Cool and casual stacks
Books placed casually on the coffee table, kitchen counter, or even in the bathroom seem like lazy decoration! You can't just throw a few books anywhere and hope that they will add to the aura of the room. Choose books with colors and themes that complement the rest of the room and its appeal. Sometimes a few books with dazzling and colorful covers are all you need in a white Scandinavian style living room. Whatever you choose, make sure these additions are visually striking.
4. Beyond the living room
Often we see homeowners hesitant to take their books beyond the living room and bedroom. Actually, the small format library can have a very spectacular and dramatic effect in the kitchen, dining area and bathroom, much more than this in the living room. Since you wouldn't normally expect the books to be part of the decor in these rooms, they tend to bring a lot more excitement there. A kitchen island with a stylish shelf full of cookbooks is a sensible addition to any modern kitchen.
5. Delimit and define
Another cool way to decorate with books is to use them to create clean lines between different rooms in an open living area. You can use a small bookshelf for this purpose or even stack the books to form a small bookcase! This is casual and looks beautiful even in contemporary living areas, of course this can be an interesting topic of conversation for your guests at the next party at home, right?
6. A touch of color
Color coordinated book rack obviously shows a touch of sophistication and brightness in the room. Actually, most homeowners want to give their rooms a brighter look while playing with the popular ombre effect almost unnoticed. You can choose a color that best suits the style of your home and display books in different shades and colors to complete this look. If you're not happy with that, you can try the “rainbow style,” where each color blends into the next. This decorating technique looks especially cool in children's rooms, where the color gives the room an elegant and organized look.
7. Reuse old books
There are many ways you can reuse the old books with a little creativity and inspiration. This is probably the most exciting and personal way you can decorate with books while engaging in a fun and fun DIY project over the weekend. From beautiful bookshelves made by books themselves to beautiful iPhone charging stations or how to create beautiful book planters, the options here are only defined by your imagination. Here are some fabulous DIY reused book ideas to get you on the right track.
