We have so many books in our house that I always look for new ways to display or store them in a clever way. I even started a whole Pinterest board about book storage.
Here are 14 fun book display and storage ideas I’ve found:
1 Why not display books in your fireplace? Just make sure you line it first with something so moisture and soot can’t ruin the books.
2 How sweet is this suitcase book storage?
3 This stacking of books makes quite a statement:
4 My recycling heart beats for this wooden spool repurposed for book storage – and a coffee table!
5 My Dream Home has this book tree in Landon’s room!
6 Don’t do this is you have a fear of heights, like me:
7 Bit too colorful for my taste, but clever idea to sort books by color:
8 Using bookshelves that surround a door makes great use of space:
9 How simple and dramatic is this display of children’s books!
10 This storage above a door can be done in the smallest apartments:
11 Home library on steroids:
12 Love the curtain!
13 Something to consider, but maybe just at bench height:
14 I love this “desk for two” idea and the extra storage space it creates:
Do you have a favorite way to display or store your books?

Some of those are AWESOME.
What I really love about #8 is that the books not only surround the doorway but they’ve actually taken the plaster or drywall off and embedded the book shelves IN the wall.
Love these! I think I am into the wall of books though I will need a built in ladder because I am short!
Right now, most of my books are stored in Rubbermaid containers. I have a Nook Tablet, and I absolutely love it. I can have any and all of my books with me at one time, and it takes up about two inches of space.
Have a great week!
You should really start doing some interior designing, obviously your interest/passion at the moment! Would be great if your next post is on some wardrobe ideas, my clothes n my hubby are squished into one small wardrobe cos that’s the only space available in our room. Just threw aways few thousand dollars of clothes that I don’t fit in cos there’s simply no wardrobe space :)
