Book arrangement
Books have their own value and decorate the room. However, in the case of a larger home library, it is worth breaking up the rows of books a little to make them more interesting.
We can vary the arrangement of the books by placing them vertically or horizontally on the shelves. The scene will be a little more busy. Avoid the slented solution, because it deforms the spine of the books.
Elements of a series or volumes written by a specific author can be arranged according to size, grouped according to the type of binding or even according to the color of the spines. The latter is only recommended in this case, because the arrangement of the entire library according to the rainbow only causes difficulties for those who actually use their own library and are looking for a specific book.
Place decorative objects between the books. For example, an ornamented bookend, vase, small sculpture, framed photos, storage boxes can be suitable for this. Don’t put these in front of the books, because that way it’s harder to take out the given volume and title won’t be readable either.
Place only decorations on top of the laid out volumes that will not demage the covers. So a plotted flower or a too heavy marble clock is not a good solution.
Happy reading everyone!
