A book that is still a book

Books can add colour and rhythm to a room while remaining things to read. Arrange them so a useful title is not buried beneath a fragile tower of ornaments.
Keep the books you reach for near a chair or desk. Try a short upright group beside one horizontal stack, then stop. You can connect the shelf to the room through one repeated cover colour without organizing every book for a photograph.
Use stable shelves within their rated load and secure furniture as instructed. Do not sacrifice easy retrieval to a precarious arrangement. A room with books should let an ordinary reading choice happen without dismantling a display.
