Using books as decor is a popular design trend, and an easy, inexpensive way to accessorize your space. There
are several ways to go with this. You can wrap them in brown craft paper with other decorative paper like
the above arrangement I encountered at a local flea market. Stacking them and wrapping twine around
them works fabulously, and allows you to get the height you need for the space.
This is a photo I shot on a recent visit to Ballard’s. They had books on most available surfaces. Emily
at Decor Chic found this image in the Ballard catalog…
She recreated the look…
Go see how she went about her Ballard Designs knock off.
If you have tons of books you are thinking about sending to Goodwill,
dive into your paper stash and give them new life, while stepping
up your decor for little to no cost!

I like the brown paper look! I wrapped some books in scrapbook paper and then stacked them to add a little height to my mantel. 🙂 My colors were more a rust red and tan.
I totally love this idea! I have some school books that I can do this too!! I am excited to do some new decorating!! Thanks for the wonderful idea!!
