Using Bookends in Your Decorating Scheme and as Gifts

It doesn’t matter what sort of decorating scheme you choose, from Victorian to modern, there are fabulous bookends that will accent your décor and provide a unique touch to any room.  The great thing about bookends is that you don’t have to be a book lover or even a book collector to use them for decorating.  You can simply display the bookends as matched pairs anywhere you have the space.  So while they have a function, they can also just be a piece of décor for your room.

Bookends are available in nearly any style, shape and design you can imagine.  They are also made age-appropriate, so if you are decorating a child’s room you don’t have to have stuffy, posh, sophisticated bookends. You can find book ends that will fit in with the decor in a child’s room.  You’ll also find bookend sets that are appropriate for teens and young adults, which are more mature but still not on the too elegant side for their age.   For example animal bookends will work nicely.

For more formal settings and décor you may want to look at a variety of bookends before deciding on a set.  Also if you have a display area such as a mantle you may want to have a few sets with just a book or two between them.  In smaller areas a single scroll bookend can add a decorative touch.   

Many fans of bookends collect different styles and designs to be used as décor throughout the home. Bookends lend a sophisticated and polished air to nearly any decorating scheme.  They also make great gifts.  They are unique gifts simply because most people do not think of them when gift shopping.
