Books aren’t just for reading—they’re for layering, styling, and storytelling within your space. In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan and Krissa explore the power of books as a design element. From coffee table classics to vintage volumes stacked just so, we dive into how books bring warmth, texture, and personality into a room.
We share tips on curating your collection, choosing the right scale and colors, and how to make books part of your interiors in meaningful (and stylish) ways. Whether you’re a maximalist or a minimalist, you’ll leave inspired to look at your bookshelves—and your design projects—a little differently.
Street Style Takeaways :· Books Add Soul – Every room needs something personal. Books reflect your interests and give depth to your space. Don’t be afraid to show off your collection.
· Stack with Intention – Vary horizontal and vertical stacks, and consider proportion. Tall, large books work great on the bottom for visual weight.
· Spines Matter – Think about color, texture, and typography. A curated spine lineup can be as impactful as art.
· Mix High & Low – Combine beautiful design books with thrifted finds, novels, or even kids’ books. It’s the mix that makes it feel lived-in and layered.
· Think Beyond the Shelf – Books work on console tables, kitchen counters, nightstands—even the bathroom. They’re one of the most versatile styling tools out there.
