Designer books unlike draperies or carpeting appreciate in value and never wear out. They are an investment for the future, as well as the ideal item with which to decorate your home or office. Warm rich leathers and antique gilt accent any room from traditional to contemporary in style. A library, study or simply a corner table...designer books are an affordable and elegant way to add warmth and beauty to your decor.
Beautiful books from our Hand Picked style. They were printed in Copenhagen in 1859 and are 7" tall and 1 1/2" wide. There are 16 books total. $480
The most important element of library décor is, of course, the books. The more impressive in appearance the books, the more striking the library. When designing a home or office library, functionality often takes a back seat to beauty. That is precisely why decorative books are so popular.
Decorative books are an ideal solution to the naked-bookshelf problem. In order to create an extraordinary home library, one must have a tremendous collection of books. Face the facts: most of the people who visit a home library don't actually read the books. Similar to silver tea sets, home study books are there for appearances only.
The great thing about decorative books is their versatility. Not every book on your shelf need be ornamental. To deceive the average visitor, fill the eye-level shelves with traditional books and then fill-out the rest of the space with decorative volumes. Were someone to open a book in your library, chances are that person would choose a middle shelf. Thus, the lower and upper ones are safe for decoration.
Decorative books are great because they eliminate the hassle of having to shop for books to fill the shelves. At Book Décor, we boast a vast collection of Danish-printed books that are sold for decorative purposes only. To make the selection process as easy as possible, we sell our collections by the foot and the yard. Simply measure the length of your bookcase, provide us with the dimensions and we will give you the exact number of volumes you need.

Book Decor sells authentically fake libraries. You can pick the antique leather-bound books based on the color of the covers. For example, the "Zen Collection" consists of sun-bleached volumes. There are also limited quantities of "Harry Potter Look" books. Depending on the style, each book sells for around $6 to $28. The books aren't in English though, so unless you happen to know the language a particular book is written in, you couldn't read it if you wanted to. From the Book Decor site:
200805280956Decorating a home library is a tough task, especially if you are short on books! Then again, not everyone is fortunate enough to have a few hundred hardbacks on hand. Considering that even the smallest of home studies requires a substantial number of volumes, the cost of filling a few bookshelves can really add up!
That is, of course, unless you consult with a decorative book dealer. As merchants who deal specifically with ornamental books, decorative dealers know exactly how to fill bookcase space with the greatest of ease. As ornamental book merchants, we at Book Décor are well-versed in the art of decorating with books. Our Danish printed, European imported books are sold specifically with interior design in mind.
Many people feel that it's silly to purchase books for pure decorative value. While we certainly understand this, we also savor the opportunity to change the mind of such individuals! Our books are so beautiful on the outside that their interior ceases to be important. What's more, they are available for purchase by the foot as well as the yard. In other words, no more spending hours in used bookstores looking for space fillers. At Book Décor, this process takes a matter of seconds!
