Here’s a roundup of an idea we admire at Remodelista: books used as room decor. Either stacked, shelved or arranged by color, books make for an easy and affordable way to liven up a room.

I am with Kathleen C
I feel like I've been saying "Get your books off the floor please" for too long already!
Those pictures all look like examples of what you should NOT do with books.
Heaven forbid they should take a book from it's colored shelf! Those books aren't meant to be read, just looked at.
by color??? how do you find the book you want?
"A combination of deep blue and green with randomly piled books and magazines makes for a colorful bedroom"
Only needs a few clothes thrown around to look just like a messy teenager's room!
Beautiful and admirable.
Thank you for this wonderful article.
Well, I don't mean to sound rude but these photos look like "befores" to me and not showing anything interesting as a solution.
