Getting Bookish

Living
Written By Peter C Som

Shelve ‘em, stack ‘em, read ‘em! Books are an integral part of making a house feel like a home. Whether cookbooks, coffee table books or limited edition art books, books allow you to be surrounded by your interests and passions. Until my dream of having a fully dedicated library room happens, it’s all about getting creative.

Here are my tips on getting bookish:

1

What books do you turn to consistently? Keep those housed vertically on your bookshelves for easy access.

Art books that have that gorgeous dust jacket? Display them on your coffee table.

And for the ones that you love but don’t always open? Keep them in neat stacks on benches, ledges or the floor.

A stack of books next to your couch? Add a tray and you have a perfect spot to place a drink.
