Modern Bookends & Decorative Coffee Table Books
Put a neat and tidy button on either end of your home library with modern bookends. Whether you decide to arrange titles by author, name, genre or color, you'll need something to support either side of the row. Minimalist styles—think marble bookends—are a subtle addition to a colorful collection of hardcovers, while decorative ones in whimsical animal-inspired shapes add a novel touch to the shelf or bookcase. Have a wood bookshelf in the home office? Try contemporary bookends that mesh with the material. If you've got a white bookcase, office bookends of any color look fitting. Want to take advantage of extra wall space? Bookends are also a stylish idea for floating shelves. Try picking a few titles that look good beside one another and using them as decorative accents. Same goes for the desk—grab books you want at arm's reach and place them snugly within some desk bookends.
Modern Bookends and Other Bookshelf Decor
While the conventional organization for bookshelves features a spine-out lineup, the minimalist design trend has inspired a new option. Now, some designers suggest storing volumes spine-turned-in. The "backwards books" look keeps the color scheme of the shelves neutral and uniform, resulting in a creamy, collected look. Give it a try in a streamlined living room or focused home office. No matter how you display your documents, magazines or other reading materials, be sure to coordinate other bookshelf decor with your modern bookends. For example, complement marble supports with a candle holder of the same material, or pair gold office bookends with a brass- or gold-finished bud vase.
