Hello friends!
So… one of my favorite things in the world are books! I like to read them, think about them, sniff them ; ), and decorate with them! How can you not? They are so beautiful. Tell me I am not the only one who buys books sometimes simply because they are gorgeous? I am incredibly lucky to have this privilege. Not everyone does, so please donate books and bookish items to your local charities and libraries if you can.
Because books are so incredible, I wanted to share other ways that you can add bookish joy into your lives. Without further ado, here is a list of my favorite home décor ideas involving books and everything bookish!
- Bookshelves! Duh! What is better than having all of your books lined up? I personally organize my books by what looks good together. I even love displaying particularly beautiful covers (hello, have you seen Winter by Marissa Meyer?). I place hardcovers with hardcovers. Paperbacks with paperbacks. Cohesive colors with other cohesive colors! Oh yes! We all know those envy-inducing #shelfiesunday pictures. I mean, have you seen floating bookshelves? There are literally books floating on your wall. That is SO COOL! There are so many different types of bookshelves that everyone can find one that fits their style.
- Bookish Throw Pillows!
I do 99.99% of my reading on my bed. There is literally no better place to decorate for me! With websites like Society6 and Redbubble, there are so many options to get fan art on various products, including pillows, blankets, tapestries, ANYTHING! There are so many fantastic artists on these websites who portray their love for books. (Shameless plug: My shop!) Here is an example of a pillow with a quote from my favorite series, The Hunger Games. This pillow can be found by clicking that link! (This design is no longer available on my shop)
- Bookish Candles!
I mean who wouldn’t love filling an entire room with the smell of your favorite books and characters. I feel like that would be a weird statement to anyone else but us book lovers get it and we have to stick together! There are SO MANY incredible shops that sell candles based on books. Some of my favorites include Reverie Library, Nerd Wicks Candles, and Novelly Yours Candles.
- Coffee Table Books!
I absolutely love the idea of those giant books that sit on people’s coffee table. I find it so pleasant to have books around everywhere is my home. It is like a warm hug every time I encounter a book in my day. It is also awesome that you can customize them to your passions! I have tons of dance/ballet books on my coffee table!
- Art Prints and Quotes!
You know those quotes that hit you straight in the gut when you read them? Whether they are from your favorite book, your favorite character, or from a book you have never picked up, they make for great wall decorations for a bedroom or living/family room.
Do you have any other ideas for bookish décor in the home? Please put them in the comments so I can see!!!! I am in constant search for new ideas!
Also, if you are looking for more individual and cool décor ideas you should definitely check out Havenly. They have so many designers who will work personally with you to customize your rooms and home to ensure that everything is perfect! I love the feeling of a freshly redecorated room!
Thank you all so much for taking the time to find out how I display my love for books in my home! Your support means the world to me so thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Love,
Jackie
