8 Green Decorative Books for Your Bookshelves
Green decorative books for decorating your bookshelves and home. Books make significant objects for decorating. Whether this is on a coffee table, tabletop, or bookshelf, books are surprisingly helpful in creating a well-curated home. We share decorating with decorative books in today’s post.
Keep your books always looking their best by regularly dusting and cleaning them. Dust books at least once a month with a clean cloth, feather duster, or vacuum attachment. This monthly cleaning helps keep them tidy and ready for use—clean books by dusting away from the book spine. Avoid dust collecting inside the book.
Organize your books in a meaningful way for you and your family. Consider styling your books using these tips:
- Sort books by reading age-appropriate, such as children, teens, and adult books
- Separate by outer book color
- Sort by book size – group larger books together and smaller-sized books together
Keep hardback from paperback books separate - Sort alphabetically
- Group books by authors
- Separate according to the subject – history books together, how-to books together.
- Keep fiction separate from non-fiction books
- Storage hardback separately from paperback books
- Give your book favorites a particular center-stage space
- Sort by read and unread books, then single out the high-priority reads from the unread book group
Style with Books – Green Decorative Books
Use decorative books along with decorative objects to style a bookshelf or tabletop. Start with a short row of books on one shelf. Then support with a metal object or bookend. Stack a short set of books horizontally. This temporary stack can support another thing or be left as is.
Add objects such as ceramic, metal, and greenery or personal things such as photographs. Remember to use decorative objects in various sizes and shapes. Try to keep consistency using a similar color scheme.
Additional Tips for Styling a Bookshelf
Follow these tips when styling a bookshelf:
Start with the largest decorative object first
Spread largest across different shelves in different spaces
Add a piece of artwork with larger pieces in the back
Place books inside the shelf with a few stacked on their sides
Stacked books act as a platform for smaller metal objects and more
Go organic with a couple of green plants
Add smaller decorative objects such as shells, orbs, magnifying glasses, and ceramic items.
Use equal shares of books, accessories, and space on the shelves. This guideline helps by not over-styling the shelves. Too much of a good thing is not good.
