I’m excited to announce that Simply Sorty Organizing was recently featured in Redfin’s latest blog, “Using Books as Decorations: How to Transform Your Home with Literature.” Being recognized by Redfin is truly an honor, and I couldn’t wait to share this wonderful news with all of you!
Books offer more than just knowledge and adventure—they can be a beautiful way to style your space. Here are a few of my favorite tips from the feature, plus some Simply Sorty insight on decorating with books in a way that adds personality, warmth, and functionality to your home.
1. Create Focal Points with Book Displays
Arranging books on a coffee table, entryway console, or bedside table can create a beautiful focal point in any room. Use books to reflect your passions and interests, showing your personality through their covers and colors.
2. Incorporate Books into Functional Spaces
Books aren’t just for libraries and bookshelves. Consider adding them to rooms like the kitchen, office, or even a bathroom for an unexpected touch of decor that invites relaxation and inspiration.
3. Mix and Match with Decor Pieces
Combine books with decorative items like plants, framed photos, or candles to create dynamic and layered displays. This approach keeps things visually interesting and adds texture and depth to your spaces.
4. Arrange by Color or Theme
A book collection organized by color or theme not only adds beauty but also creates a sense of order that’s both calming and visually appealing. Arranging books by size or tone adds sophistication while keeping things functional.
5. Rotate Books Seasonally
Freshen up your space by rotating books to fit each season. Light, bright reads can make a space feel airy in summer, while cozy, textured covers bring warmth in colder months.
These tips help blend aesthetics with functionality—creating spaces that reflect who you are without adding clutter.
