Although digital books are increasingly gaining space in the literary market, physical books still have a guaranteed place in the hearts of avid readers.
Far beyond entertaining and educating, books are also a great option for decorating environments and adding charm to various spaces. This is due to the great diversity of models available, and they can be presented in simple paperback, hardcover, with vibrant colors or in pastel shades, and even with metallic spines or fluorescent titles.
This way, one can understand that the book has a double function: it guarantees good hours of entertainment to the reader and gives more personality to the room where it is stored, helping in the decoration. With no restrictions on its use, the possibilities are countless, being necessary only basic care so that the material does not suffer in very humid environments or places that easily accumulate dirt. Check it out belowA selection of beautiful environments using books in your decoration and get inspired by the ideas presented:
1. mix with other decorative objects
This tip is ideal for those who have a large bookcase intended to accommodate decorative items. The idea is to add small groups of books in various locations, amidst the other decorative objects. For a more beautiful look, alternate the books vertically and horizontally.
Group similar colors and shapes together
If you have collections with several volumes, try to leave them all grouped on the same shelf or niche, creating a harmony in the visual. Copies with cover and spine colors or even similar formats should also be close to each other.
3. how about a different shelf?
A good idea to avoid conventional shelves and ensure an unusual look to the environment is to bet on a vertical model. Since the shelf levels are small, the books were grouped by similar sizes, horizontally.
4. bet on varied materials
Here the bookcase has a differentiated design, being produced in clay, with vertical niches placed side by side, on two different levels. The books are in alternate places, mixed among plants, vases, and various sculptures.
5. the more different, the better
For a more contemporary decoration style, bet on differentiated shelves, which surprise and add information to the environment.
6. add style to traditional furniture
Using custom cabinetry, this buffet has been given a new look by having diagonally placed shelves in the center, which provide an ideal space for the family's favorite books.
7. ideal for a stylish home office
The office is, without a doubt, the ideal place to keep books on display. In this project, the various books were arranged on large wooden boards attached to the wall. For an even more charming result, the lowest shelf was given a string of blinkers.
8. with built-in support bracket
Here the books were distributed among plants and decorative objects.
9. or if you wish, leave them exposed
Here the shelves were installed with the help of black hand-frames, ensuring support and standing out with the light color of the wood. The books were distributed based on their sizes, and can be viewed in horizontal and vertical groupings.

Mixing industrial decoration with a beach atmosphere, this room has two large shelves that cover two walls, and that was elaborated using the burnt cement technique, as well as the bench that accommodates comfortable cushions for moments of relaxation and reading.
11. make them stand out
In this environment with predominant wood, the books stand out in the decoration in two moments: by adding color to the shelf made in the same tone as the wood used as covering of the environment, and on top of the coffee table, adding the vibrant green of the cover to the decoration.
12. the more color, the more life to the environment
Another room that has the sober tones of wood in abundance, both on the floor and in the Charles Eames armchair, here the large bookcase accommodates books of various sizes, mostly with vibrant colors, ensuring touches of color and more life to the room

Even if the room is small and there isn't much space, books can still make the room look more interesting.
14. recessed lights give even more prominence
The larger the bookcase, the more room to accommodate the books without having to stack them on top of each other.
15. stylish mosaic bookcase
The distinctive look of this bookcase draws attention by itself. Elaborated in the form of a mosaic, it has ample shelves to accommodate the residents' favorite books, as well as a plant pot, cameras, and a stereo system.
16. a large bookcase-divider
A good idea for separating integrated environments, this bookcase acts as a wall, creating a kind of portal in the middle of the room. With niches of approximate sizes, it is the ideal piece of furniture to keep your book collection organized.
17. the work table also accommodates the books
18. great for decorating stairs
The place where the ladder is implemented often remains a negative space, without much function. Adding varied shelves and accommodating books, then, seems to be the perfect solution. A tip is to opt for copies of similar colors or with contrasting colors, creating a richer look to the environment.
19. ensure the reading corner
Book lovers should take care to build their own quiet corner to spend good moments immersed in reading. Opting for a comfortable armchair or sofa is a sure choice, and organizing books in a full-wall bookcase ensures the beauty of the room.
20. rustic style in the bookcase-divider
This is another example of how a bookcase can be a good option to divide environments. It has a more rustic style, being built into a wall with a burnt cement finish and made of lead-tone painted metal.
21. organization is law
For those who have many books of various sizes and colors, the ideal is to opt for harmony when organizing the books, grouping similar colors and sizes together, preventing the environment from becoming too polluted.
22. how about mixing different styles?
For lovers of unusual looking environments, this TV room is a must. Its walls were covered with bookshelves and shelves in different shapes, sizes, and colors, all to enable the storage of books in style and beauty.
23. books everywhere
This large room shows how versatile it is to decorate with books. While several books are stored in the vibrant yellow bookcase, a few books are scattered around the room, on the desk and on the sideboard in the background.
24 - Increasing the coffee table
To add more charm to the furniture, choose larger copies, with luxurious finishes or famous titles. Try not to pile up too many, so as not to pollute the visual or disturb the view of the room. If you wish, use a vase with flowers to accompany them.
25. how about organizing them in a different way?
Even with the large shelves, the books were grouped at the end next to the wall, ensuring space in the center of the cabinet for decorative objects and picture frames. To avoid contrasts, mix decorative items with the books, as in the example of the small mummy doll.
26. if the furniture is large, spread the books out
In the case of an entire wall bookcase, it can be difficult to fill every corner of the cabinet with books, so the tip is to distribute small groups to the niches or shelves, avoiding leaving too many empty spaces.
27. on an uneven shelf
28. avoid weighing down the look
A good tip is to add as many books as possible on the higher shelves and decrease the amount on the lower ones. This way, there will be no visual pollution near the desk, facilitating concentration and mental flow.
29. and why not decorate the hallway?
In this suggestion, shelves have been added at the end of the hallway to accommodate books and various decorative items.
30. break the rules
Although the concept of harmony in an environment requires that books be grouped according to similar sizes, shapes, and colors, how about breaking the rules? Here they were randomly distributed, filling the entire wooden bookcase.
31. located where you least expect it
As the room has reduced proportions, the books were incorporated into the decoration, and can be seen in the niche used as a base for the sofa and on the side table with an ideal design to fit the bed without losing its structure.
32. for a wall full of grace
In addition to the amusingly designed wooden hooks fixed to the wall, there are a trio of small wooden stools in their natural color, which accommodate a straw bag and a stack of books. Beside them, a large glass vase with ornamental plants.
33. more innovative, impossible
Ideal for those who like conceptual decoration, these bookcases have a differentiated design, with cut-outs in the letters that form the word "art", and also include LED strips as an outline, which ensure greater prominence and beauty to the irreverent furniture.
34. bet on beautiful sideboards
If the books are arranged vertically, it is necessary to use an object to hold them in this position.
35. do you like the book cover? leave it on display
If the book has differentiated details on its cover, such as metallic finishes, worked drawings, or if it is your favorite book, arrange it so that its cover is on display, adding more charm to the room's decoration.
36. alternate books and vases
In this project, the niches of different sizes are embedded in the room divider, and it is possible to mix the arrangement: sometimes only books, sometimes books with vases, and sometimes only vases.
37. making the side table more interesting
If the side table doesn't have a well-defined role, adding stacked books of varying sizes is a good option to give it more charm and function. Here two stacks of books were positioned right below the banner hanging on the wall, in addition to the awesome corner that figures right next to it.
38. mix of books and vases
The stack of books was positioned on the left side of the sideboard, while a set of glass vases in various sizes occupy the right side.
39. composing the decoration
Once again it is possible to admire all the beauty provided by a large and imposing bookcase decorated with the most varied decorative objects. Here the books figure in the niches, either in an isolated group or integrated with the other items.
