Styling Books to Keep on Hand

Home Picks
October 14, 2020

If there’s one thing we know to be true, it’s that you can never have enough styling books, especially neutral(ish) ones. They’re perfect for mixing and matching — adding to any space that needs a little personality and pattern. There’s so many beautiful ones (both new and old!) that we’ve discovered recently that we wanted to share with you, so scroll on down to see! P.S — if you’re in the book-buying mood, head to our Amazon shop to see our full curated collection!

When choosing styling books, keep in mind the sizes and cover colors as you put together pairings. You’ll want to stack with larger books on the bottom and smaller covers on top. We typically opt for neutral covers, especially hues of white, cream, beige, black, and grey. They go with any decor color palette and add a special something without feeling distracting. Lastly, when styling a shelf, try layering a few books underneath smaller decor objects, and then prop a handful of covers up with your favorite bookends.
