Decorate with Books
Often collected by various circumstances, large quantities of books in our home and then not know what to do with them. With a little ingenuity and good taste, we can integrate to the decor of our home and arrange them in ingenious ways that allow us to better use of space.
The books have a certain aura of distinction and may become an element of elegance and sophistication in an environment where we know how to distribute.
When decorating with books, what interests us is its exterior form, which must be integrated into home decor and we must seek the most effective and aesthetic of storage, which should not be detached from the value we give to books, as there favorite books, reference is necessary, leisure books, we must also have at hand, and books of little interest to be allocated to places of difficult access.
The space to store our books we must allow for classification, ordering and easy access. Before reorganizing our collection of books, it should do a survey to see if there are some volumes of which we can do without and to group the most valuable books in our collection.
Some ideas for storing books in a decorative manner:
The most elementary form of saving is to stack books on a field in a table, for use as a drop in it, using them as anchors for attaching an ornamental, or as a base for other books that interest us out or have on hand. They can also occupy the whole of the table in the case of small coffee tables or stools, they can even serve to hide a ramshackle old bank and it can take new value to provide support for the books.
The most efficient use of space is by installing shelves that occupy an entire wall from floor to ceiling; this is achieved with a lot of books stored in minimal space. This resource is ideal for those with an extensive collection of books. It can be applied to areas of little use as corridors, hallways, but also to the rooms, bedrooms, etc.
An area often missed is usually left between the lintel of the doors and roof racks can be installed there, which can range from one wall to another, and even go around the room, we would be gaining a large surface idle storage space.
Before installing shelves we must ensure that we use the basic walls are strong enough, because the books are an important factor and may lead to damage, or damage near some element, even to someone.
In cases where we have books that do not wish to display, we use closed drawers or double-wide shelves, where we will install two rows of books, placing books we like the front and we do not want to show behind.
We can also take advantage of spaces like the corners of windows, on fireplaces, under the stairs or where the books can support.
If we do not have enough space or money for furniture, we can simply form a large pile of books in a corner and cover with a nice tablecloth and used as coffee table or bedside table reading where a lamp support. We can also leave them exposed and by placing a glass to protect them and provide a smooth surface of support.
When we have few books, all corners on furniture or shelves for storage will be enough, alternating with decorative objects.
