I believe that one key element to a well-styled space are books. Lots and lots of books. They add visual depth, character, and a sense of history to a room. I love shopping for vintage books at flea markets, and thrift stores. Their weathered pages, and faded dust jackets always make me wonder where that book has traveled, who it belonged to, and what their life was like. Oh, if only books could talk.
I love this book by Damian Thompson. I think it illustrates the story of styling a room with books perfectly. It's pages are filled with inspiring book filled spaces that feel inviting, warm, and well traveled. I highly recommend picking up a copy.
