Your being a bibliophile hasn’t done much for your home except make it crowded? Piles of books take up parts of every room? For all those out there, here are 5 ways to use your books to make your home look better. Now decorating with old books will be your new favourite thing to do.


1. Make a wall border

Put some books in a row to form a border around your room. This can be done by either using strips of cloth and placing them on the floor or installing a shelf around the walls. This helps frame your room and reduces any trace of clutter. Also, makes every room reader friendly.

2. Make a book table

Segregate a bunch of hardcover copies from your collection. Make two piles, both of the same height. Place a slab of granite or solid to make a dismountable quirky coffee table. What’s more, you can choose the height of your table.

3. Keep it conventional


Old books are not just a reader’s treasure. Stack them up in the corner of a crockery shelf or TV cabinet for décor purposes. Get creative, alternate with horizontal and vertical, play with colours and texture. You will see your room brighten up.

4. Place them open

On a corner table, place a classic open and use a decorative bookmark, an antique lock or key. This forms and interesting corner piece and helps as a conversation starter too.

5. Bookends to the rescue

Here’s another way to keep your go-to books handy in your living room or bedroom without making them look like a cluttered eyesore. Use bookends and stack a few books between them. Bookends are available in all home décor stores in interesting shapes and sizes – think elephants, musicians and frogs.
