Styling with Books and Shelves


It seems we get a lot more reading done during the colder months.  Frigid temperatures keep us indoors and a good book in front of the fire is a great way to spend an evening.  Having a stylish bookshelf is not terribly hard if you have the right inspiration.  Here are some of our favourite looks.



Books work anywhere, even the dining room, 
which is handy in case the dinner conversation starts thinning

How better to cozy up high ceilings than by filling the upper wall with books and shelves

A white office space, found on the crystalgentilello.com blog, is given character and warmth with the injection of a small library of books and framed art above the desk.



A mix of moody colours, eclectic art and comfortable furnishings make this library wall, 
found in the pages of House Beautiful, inviting.



This library, the perfect spot to read and daydream, makes smart use of a hallway nook houseandhome.com



 Bookcases hugging a sofa is a clever way to add style & storage to a living space

What is a library or a bookshelf without books? Classics add character while uniformity can happen when books are covered with pretty paper, vintage maps of velvet as shown here.
