You clearly like reading blogs, so I bet you like reading books too. Thrillers, romance, sci-fi, nonfiction, biographies, cookbooks, and so much more fill every shelf, end table and spare space in my Camden apartment home. Books aren’t your standard decorative knick-knack. You connected with them. You shared them with friends, and you took notes in the margins. You simply just can’t get rid of all those books!

I am totally with you, so here are some amazing and unique ways to style your Camden apartment with your beloved books.

1. Quite a few Camden communities have conveniently located built-in books shelves, and it is so easy for you to level up these areas. They are amazing spots for books, plants, frames, ornaments, and more. You can go a step further and organize your books in a way that’s pleasing for you – alphabetically, by cover color, or display books with their covers outwardly facing like a bookstore display.

2. If you’re lucky enough to live in a Camden community that has a cozy fireplace, you can utilize your books in one of my favorite ways – a fireplace library. Here in Georgia, it’s not common to need a blazing fire going. Make your fireplace work better for you by organizing your books inside of it. Not only are you giving yourself more storage space, but you’re also creating a gorgeous and unique piece of décor in your home.

3. One of my favorite and easiest ways to decorate with books is using them as a windowsill liner. We love modern apartment homes here at Camden, but we also understand that our residents all have their own vibes that they want to be represented in their home. If cozy and homey is your vibe, this décor trick is a beyond simple way to get there.

4. Another incredibly easy idea is to utilize a cookbook stand to display your favorite cookbooks in your kitchen. Kitchens don’t always scream “decorate me!” but if you want your personality displayed in every room AND you want useful décor, this idea is for you. Find an attractive page in your cookbook or a recipe you truly want to make and display it on the gorgeous quartz countertops in your Camden apartment home.

5. Make it clear that you’re a book lover from the moment someone sees your door with a book page wreath. You can find many DIY websites with tips and tricks on making your own, or you can order a beautiful preassembled one from a small business via websites like Etsy.

6. Last but certainly not least, never forget the value of a coffee table book. They are excellent conversation starters, you have a book within reach whenever you cozy up on the couch, and you are sure to find one with a stunning cover that will tie in the colors of your room.
