Bookends

Bookends for the Home Library

Love putting your literature collection on display? Rely on a pair of bookends to help with the organization of your titles. Not only are these home office accessories practical, they’re also decorative. Think marble bookends on either side of your reference materials in the study, or ones made of resin on the bookshelf in the living room. Either way, both styles stand alone as decor when not in use. To achieve a more eclectic look in the reading nook, consider animal-shaped bookends instead. For instance, those with a bird-like silhouette bring a bit of nature your home. What’s even better? Kids enjoy using bookends, too. Those with bright colors and familiar faces—think Sesame Street characters, as well as other recognizable animals —encourage them to pick up their favorite story books over and over.
