Bookcases & Shelves

If you already have bookcases or shelves, these are the most obvious places to include your vintage books. You can choose to color coordinate them and use the appropriate color combination depending on your room’s theme. For instance, if your bathroom is beach themed, include blue or grey book sets on bathroom shelves. If you have a Southwestern vibe in your living room, opt for bright purple, red, and yellow antique books to add a funky flare to your bookshelf decor.

Pro Tip: When using vintage books in your interior design, you can place them vertically where the bind of the books are showing, or lay them flat and stack them as shelf decor for an eclectic style.

Wall Art

There are a ton of ways to use vintage books as wall art. You can use your vintage book collection to create invisible bookshelves. You could also open them up and hang them creatively. Another option is to find your favorite pages and frame them to make beautiful book wall art.

Get Creative

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your vintage book stack. You can stack them on a closet shelf to hang your favorite vintage jewelry. Another cute book decor idea is to add some twine around your book lot and place them on the coffee table next to flowers and similar items. You could even carve the middle out and use the antique books as plant holders.

A Book Lover’s Dream

Even if you prefer to read ebooks, don’t let your old books go to waste. Book decor is perfect for book lovers everywhere.
