I was thinking of creative ways to display my books since my current bookshelf has completely maxed out space. I saw these design inspiration photos with books and magazines on the floor and thought it was such a cool and unique idea, if done right. I currently have this on my window sill, but it does not look very organized (FYI: don't adorn this look with junk mail and bills!) The key is to use varying sizes and display them like a pyramid or have them all lined up perfectly, with the title facing outwards.
What do you think of this design look? Have any of your own book decorating suggestions? xo.

i like the idea of stacked books a lot but i am a bit of a neat freak so i think id rather have something like this:: http://www.cb2.com/family.aspx?c=118&f=702
similar effect yet a little more structured. xoxo jcd
I always love the look of stacked books when I see it, but I just worry it would be a huge dust collector.
I use a stack of magazines as a nightstand. At first, the pile just kind of built up on its own (I'm definitely a glossy junkie), but now I love it. Hooray for piles!
I definitely like this. Especially on hardwood floors. :)
Jillian, I love that bookcase!So cool. And yes, it would definitely help them stay in place! xo
the stacked book look is one of my favorites - and these photos capture it perfectly. if you have enough books, a whole wall shelf mixed with little trinkets may also be another idea!

Lol at the junk mail and bills, very guilty of that. I collect old books, needless to say, I'm running out of shelf space. These ideas are charming.
I love piles of books; but the trick is not to let it get out of hand...these look great!
These sure are some inspiring piles! I never really thought of piles as being so aesthetically pleasing, but I'm sold :)
Love this photos. Sometimes I have moved and used books as bed side tables before I receive my furniture.
I have the same issue, lots of books and no where to go! Can't wait to see what you decide!
