I fear that technology has taken over our lives, which is why I love the idea and look of bookshelves in homes. They're a great way to store and showcase your book collection, but they can also provide an insight to your life and personality. Storing your books can be as simple as installing some floating shelves on a wall or as dramatic as some built-in floor to ceiling units. No matter what the option, they can create interest and offer a sense of warmth to an otherwise stark and empty wall. I also like the idea of using them as room dividers. Stack them with great books but don't forget to add special objects and artwork in and amongst all of your fave reads. I love the inclusion of quirky pieces in bookshelves. They draw you in, entice you to touch, make you think. And best of all, it might prompt you to down the iPad and read a good ol' fashioned book.
