Garnish: 10 ways to turn your books into works of art - I am an avid bookworm, but my habit of reading has a drawback. All these volumes are a serious amount of space - and usually end up in a heap on the floor of the chamber (shameful). I know I am not alone, so here are some of my favorite ideas for quarrels, a collection without overflowing growing into a beautiful, ordered the display.

color Curate
If you have a free afternoon to turn a random jumble of books in a long elegant, organization color is the way to go. Keep the background of your neutral shelves -. brightly colored paint or wallpaper patterns will dilute the effect

Take the circle line
This "book wheel eccentric emphasizes the unusual shape of the window, and the reverse stock split by the color of their covers highlights the bold brights on the walls. Genius.

If you have high ceilings, take advantage of them by taking integrated shelves all the way up to the top (including the door). Mix in images, photos and ornaments among the books for an eye-catching display.

Use the bathroom wall
If space is at a premium, the book storage building in the otherwise dead space is a good idea. This unit operates the largest wall leading downstairs and the upper part of it on the landing, housing hundreds of books in an unused area.

maximizing an island unit
Wring as much space as possible on a kitchen island by fixing drawers on the side of the kitchen and shelves on the other. Shelves should only be around 15cm deep, which should leave enough room for pots and pans.

Hide thorns
for the minimalists among us, storing books with spines inward actually a system serene. You can always break the uniformity alternately arranging them in rows and stacks, as in this room. Just remember to keep a note of which books are where, so that you can easily get hold of your favorite page turner.

Build a big gap
a unit of floor to ceiling shelves is a great way to divide a large room into two different areas, such as a kitchen and living space. Put your books on the side of the room, position a chair or day bed in front and you have yourself a reading area.
