I am a book lover by nature.
I mean, I love books literally but also figuratively.
I use them a lot in decorating our home.

Aside from my book collections on display in our living room. We stil have a lot more in our office, our bedroom and even in the kids rooms. We are lucky that our kids have started their love of books early. We give books to them as gifts more than toys and they love it! Books takes you to place beyond your wildest imagination, and makes you think about anything and everything around you.
In design though, to quote NATE BERKUS, " Books are one of the best accessories for your home". Take a look at these clever uses of books in these homes...
A lot of people have also used books or rather, it's parts, in some other clever ways...
If you are a collector, there are so many ways of displaying them as well. Here are two of my faves....
I started collecting what I call "Beauty Books" since last year. I call them such because I bought them mainly for what they look like - they are just Beatuiful books, I'm sure you agree with these PENGUIN CLASSICS...

| Love those binding! |
I have read some of them but not yet all of them, I feel like they'll be easier to read because they are aesthetically pleasing to look at too (crazy?! Yeah, I agree)!
I also collect Fashion Designer books - aside from the fact that they look good, they are also grogeous inside. Here are some of the titles I currently have...

I still have a long way to go as far as completing my collections, but in the meantime, they are put to good use around my home as decorative objects.

| Gotta love Hermes! And the pictures of the scarves inside are good enough to frame too! |
Hope this gives you some idea how to incorporate books into your own decor!!!! So bring those books out of the shelf and start displaying and using them all around the house. :-)
Have a great Week!!!!
