'Though you might want to stash away your trashy novels, some books just beg to be kept on display,' says Carolyn Robinson. Layer colors and sizes over one another for best effect, and shuffle them round to create an ever-changing display that can be added to whenever you choose. Displaying your favorite art and photography books is also a subtle way of saying a little bit about yourself."

This storage solution cleverly divides an open-plan area without enclosing the space entirely. Open shelves are ideal for pulling light into the room. Place accessories between your books to create a stylish display.”

'Color coordinating your books can make such a big difference,' says designer Bethany Gray. The great thing is this works with everything from a small stack of paperbacks to a whole library.”

Finally, when you have lots of pretty coffee table books, remove them from the table or shelf and create a colorful end table instead!
