Description
Home is where the books are. This inspiring home decor book is brimming with photos of cozy places to read and creative ways to display books at home. For stylish bookworms and bookish stylists, this covetable home décor book merges the literary appeal of Jane Mount's bestselling Bibliophile with the aspirational allure of Emily Henderson's bestselling Styled. Discover beautiful bookshelves adorned with lovely objets d'art, handsome home libraries with snug armchairs, reading areas for kids that ignite the imagination, and cookbook corners in quaint kitchens--and learn to replicate these in your own space. From bedside tables to bar carts, leather-bound collections to color-coded shelves, here are book nooks and styling techniques for every room and aesthetic. Reading lists from Gillian Flynn, Jasmine Guillory, Alex Elle, Joanna Goddard, Nik Sharma, and more offer plenty of recommendations for stocking your shelves (and your TBR list). In a stunning package with a tasteful hint of gold foil on the case, this sumptuous book is perfect for browsing, displaying on a coffee table, or gifting to the reader, book lover, designer, or creative in your life. Filled with clever design ideas and dreamy spaces, Book Nooks is an irresistible invitation to curl up with a book, whether this one or another. BOOK NOOKS FOR EVERYONE: Organized by type of book nook--from cookbook nooks to kid nooks, gardener nooks to neutral nooks--and featuring a range of home aesthetics, including colorful, contemporary, cozy, and whimsical, there is plenty of inspiration here for all readers. BEAUTIFUL TO GIFT AND DISPLAY: Book Nooks makes a lovely gift for design enthusiasts and book lovers. Not only is it filled with original ideas for styling your book collection, but it acts as an eye-catching décor object itself. Display it on a coffee table alongside a candle, decorative tray, or book-themed vase. INSPIRING AND EASY-TO-ACHIEVE: The styling ideas included in these pages are original yet easy to recreate at home: Fill a nonworking fireplace with paperbacks; stack oversized books to create a stool or end table; turn your book pages out for a neutral shelf; frame vintage cookbook pages for one-of-a-kind artwork. Discover tons of ideas that can be incorporated into your home, no matter the aesthetic or budget. READING LISTS FROM LUMINOUS VOICES: In addition to beautiful interior shots, you'll find book lists, including Gillian Flynn's favorite mysteries, Alex Elle's most trusted books on healing and self love, Jasmine Guillory's must-have romance novels, Nik Sharma's most used cookbooks, PEN America's recommended banned books, and more.
