When the book is not only a source of knowledge! 6 original home decorating ideas with them

It is no secret that books have recently begun to be appreciated not only for the information they contain, but also for their aesthetic appearance. Therefore, it is extremely strange and unpleasant to see numerous printed publications in the garbage, on the balcony or in garages. After all, they have the potential for practical application in interior decoration.

Good afternoon dear friends!

A book is a self-sufficient decorative element that does not require any special design or addition. She is always good on her own, as an interesting touch or non-trivial accessory. And if you are still worried and think that the books will not fit into the decoration of your home, then believe me - you are doing this in vain! For they are perfectly combined with any interior style, whatever it may be.

And to prove this fact to you, as well as suggest 6 unusual examples of decorative use of paper editions in the interior, I prepared this material.

1.Symbiosis of sculptural and literary work.

Do you want to diversify the interior of your home, and at the same time find a use for books? Easily! Add a bust to the setting. But there is a nuance. The bust is an object from the past. In the setting of a modern apartment, it will look a little awkward. Therefore, in order to use it when decorating an apartment, it is advisable to dilute classicism and austerity. For example, using books as a pedestal.

This "deliberately careless" combination will allow you to create an unusual decoration for the room. And at the same time usefully apply old books.

2.Interaction between literary and visual arts. Another cool solution that allows you to create a similar non-standard composition. At the same time, you can avoid one not very pleasant event - drilling holes in the wall in order to hang an art photograph or painting on it. Since it can be raised to the desired height using a pair of book stands.

But keep in mind that the image that the books will hold must be large. Otherwise, it will be lost against the background of such a colorful stand.

3.Stylish alternative to furniture. By the way, did you know that large-format books and even magazines can replace furniture? No! Then how about using them instead of the bedside table. This solution will allow you to save your family budget, add visual interest to the interior, and use previously unnecessary books competently.

And so a "curbstone", like a curbstone, which is perfect for placing a table lamp, frames with photographs or a small houseplant.

4.A useful piece of furniture. By the way, not only art objects can be put on books. They can also be used as a stand for regular flower pots. The main advantage of books over console tables and side tables is that they are mobile and versatile. They can be easily enlarged or reduced, removed or moved to another room.

Agree?! A rather non-trivial approach to bringing fashionable decorative indoor plants into your interior.

5.Stylish display. Not sure how to make books a self-sufficient decorative element? Very simple! To do this, you will need to select several volumes in the same color scheme and place them on an empty wall using narrow shelves. So you will create a stylish and elegant, almost "museum" exhibition with crazy energy.

And remember that books that stand out against a dark background will make an especially strong impression.

6.The final decorative element. And finally, a technique that allows you to make books a real decoration of the room. To do this, you first need to install a long shelf in the entire wall, and then lay out books on it in different ways. (vertically, horizontally, spines forward or backward), while emphasizing the cover, rather than the inner content of the printed editions.

The shelf itself should be practically invisible. Therefore, its color and the color of the brackets must be selected in accordance with the style and color palette of the room. That, in fact, is all!
