How To Display Books With Style: 5 Tips And 26 Examples

Though the 21st century is the era of electronic books and laptops, we still have lots of usual books at home and they should be displayed with style.

1. Get color-coded: arranging your books by color can have striking impact, especially if you have a very large collection. However, for simplicity and practicality, it’s better doing this with a smaller collection of books.
2. Stack them up with a twist: the growing trend of colored page edges and exposed spines has given books an additional aesthetic appeal. Stack these books horizontally and slant a little to the side, so the titles are still visible to your curious admiring guests.
3. Give your paperbacks a makeover – when they’re just slightly worn, they look not so good.
4. Go forward facing – do you have books with gorgeous covers and surprisingly dull spines? Arrange your books according to their best features, showing both spines and faces of your collection.
5. Tell your own story by displaying your books among vignettes inspired by special memories. Use what you love to create a more personal arrangement. Use the books wisely to add height and prominence to smaller yet equally important objects.
