When I find myself in a decorating dilemma where nothing seems to work, I rely on a collection of books to come to my rescue. Books in varied sizes and colored spines provide an instant solution by filling up empty shelves and coffee tables.
One trend I have seen a bit of lately in interiors editorial photography and design shows is the flipside of traditional book display which I love! By grouping books page side out, you get a wonderful array of neutral shades (depending on the books’ age!) that helps to create texture within the same tonal range, plus an art installation of sorts. If the idea of having your well read and often used titles flipped around is frustrating, then you may want to collect an assortment of old books from your local thrift store or garage sale to use instead.
