If you’re a avid reader with a deep love of the written word, let it shine throughout your home. Decorate with books creatively strewn on tables, piled artistically on open shelves or used as risers for other objets d’art. Alternatively, let your love affair with books inspire your decorating choices. Look for accessories with printed words in beautiful script to add romance to a room. Spark imagination with photographs or prints of books. Or choose furniture pieces designed to showcase your literary treasures. However you do it, infusing your home with literary-inspired items will create a cosy, inviting space that you’ll well, want to curl up with a good book and read in.
