A pop of colour
I love the idea of using book shelves as the colour focal point for a room.
Obviously the one above is fairly…dramatic. I really like it but perhaps not realistic for the average urban home. Never fear, there are lots of other ways to use colour and book shelves. Continue reading
Hallway shelves
When I was young, my family sometimes visited a friend’s house that had book shelves lining the entire length of their hallway.

Since then, I’ve always had a thing for library walls.
If you can’t have your own library, perhaps there’s room for a library wall – and what better way to decorate than with books?
