Books on display

I adore this photo. Not only are the books organized by colour but by size too. Love the graphic effect.

Here are some more I really like. My favourite are wall-to-wall bookcases. But there are a couple of smart ideas below for books that maybe aren't the greatest to look at. Such as the third photo. Place a REALLY nice chair in front of your books and no one will even notice them because they'll be too busy admiring the chair. Or in the fourth photo - just turn the books around so the spines are facing backwards.

Call me a design philistine but I love books arranged by colour.

I really love the shelving in the last picture. Of course you need a really big long wall to pull this look off.... but its very cool!!!

These are all great images. Good food for thought. Seems like books and how they are arranged is a popular blogging subject at the moment.

my dream has always been wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookcases, but THAT bottom pic is about to change my dream. :)
