Complete your bookshelves with bookends
When trying to decide how to best decorate a shelf or table top, bookends should be considered. They are great decorating accent pieces and also work as functional items, preventing book warping, decreasing page wrinkling, and protecting book covers. In addition to preserving your books, bookends add finesse to home offices, libraries, childrens rooms, and family rooms. For a unique decorating approach, place them in a bathroom to hold bubble bath reading material.But bookends dont only hold books. They can add drama to a CD collection, accessorize photo albums, or hold folders of work to be completeduse your imagination. You can arrange cookbooks between bookends that match your kitchen decor, whether it is roosters, apples, or decorative bottles. Then, group with baskets, decorative plates, or a prized cookie jar. Books that no one intends to read can be partnered with bookends and displayed on top of kitchen cabinets. What kind of bookends are available? Any kind you want. You simply need to determine what material and shape the book ends need to be in order to contribute to the definition of a particular room. For example, a little girls room could utilize bookends that look like Noahs Ark to hold her collection of Childrens books. Brass eagle book ends would look great in a den filled with deer heads and decoys, while cherub characters may fit best in an elegant living room holding books of romantic poetry.Are your books lined up neatly in a bookshelf? Dont be afraid to jazz it up a bit. Take the books out of the case and divide them according to subject. Chances are good that you will have several titles per subject. Then purchase bookends in a style that matches the subject matter. Arrange them in groups on your bookshelf along side framed pictures, decorative plates, or vases.Book ends provide an opportunity to infuse your personality or interests into a room. Because they serve a dual purpose, book ends are a justifiable decorating expense. You can preserve your books while adding a new element or focal point to your living spaces.
