Giving life to an empty space is a simple task when using your favorite series collection or even just a few odds and ends books. A bare wall of shelves, a lonely bedside table, an open area of a work desk – the options are endless when decorating with books. They create depth and build character in a space by adding a warm and inviting feel. Books also are a wonderful way to allow your personality to shine through a room.

For those in need of a little extra help getting their book collection together, you can turn to Books By The Foot. This site offers over 30 standard styles and several size and color options for “shelf-ready” books. They also offer personal assistance from their Designer Services at no extra cost.

Here are a few inspiration ideas when decorating with books:

 When I accessorize a client’s home, I always turn to books to add warmth and interest. Do you like you decorate with books as much as I do? What are some unusual ways you have accessorized with books?
