Decorating With Books........Books,Nooks, and People That Love Them!

I remember my mother would take me out to buy them every week when I was a little girl. That was a treat for me. Didn’t want dolls…it was books that satisfied me. My mother’s dedicated reading to me has made me the voracious reader I am today. I love having books around me so I use them as decoration in my own home as well as many of my client’s homes.

Many people feel that it's silly to purchase books for pure decorative value. I have found some books with beautiful bindings and also leather bound books at antique malls and fleas markets. It is easy to create attractive vignettes with them.

There is something indescribably appealing about rooms filled with books, walls lined with well-organized shelves. Many book lovers dream of having such a space themselves, although not everyone has the space to have a dedicated library room in their dwellings. Reading nooks are the perfect solutions and they are so charming that they make great additions to any home decor.

I wish the photographs below will inspire you!

The bed and the cabinets of books make this a comfy retreat.

I love to apply old books in redecorating.

Isn't this stairway library smart?

This is one in all my designs. I love to use books and bookends within the interiors of my clients. They had a few first-rate old books simply hidden away so I delivered them out and scattered them all through the residence in one-of-a-kind vignettes.

Surrounded by way of books. And I love the zebra. Hope it's far fake!

Rummaging around in this book store would be delightful!

A tremendous old fashioned book place to spend a day on!

Isn't this a cozy e book corner? It looks as if they've became a closet right into a mini library. The entire room has such antique charm.

A color blocked library! How smart to mix colorings to make your library wall a colorful focal point. It brings a texture to the wall that won't be there if the covers have been all jumbled up.

I think the citrus colors against the black bookcase are fabulous!

I love them standing with the aid of themselves, or held in vicinity by lovable bookends, or maybe stacked up as a base for a lamp. You can locate such a lot of ways to apply books in vignettes to enhance your house.

The large windows with simple window treatments and the abundance of white, make this a bright cheerful reading room.

Elegant however inviting! I'm crazy approximately the black ground!

Imagination running loose!

It's fun to scour antique stores, flea markets and even yard sales for beautifully bound books like these to use in your home decorating.

This is a very lovely place to sit and read. Can you imagine opening those windows and sitting there in the breeze, totally immersed.?

Cute idea for a e-book shelf!

I could examine here for hours!
