Friday Favorites: 5.20.11

Katie — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:30:43 +0000

Architecturally speaking, built-in bookshelves can really make a room. But in terms of décor, what is it that makes the built-ins? Accessories — that’s what! Creatively displaying a bundle of books is a great way to start, but to add plenty of punch and personality, try flanking your favorite reads with visually interesting bookends. Your shelves will appear organized, as well as style-savvy, allowing the entire room to come together as a whole.

Here are some examples of eye-catching bookends, chosen by SLHL staffers for this week’s Friday Favorites.

1. Quartz bookends from Horchow. “These quartz bookends are stunning. They are luminous and would add a touch of natural glamour to my home office or any room in my home. Love them!” – Judy Uelk, Editor-in-Chief (Photo courtesy of www.horchow.com)

2. Marble Lion bookends from Plantation Design. “I can’t help it — there’s just something about pairing pure white accessories with colorful walls and furniture that I am immediately drawn to. I guess that’s why these white marble bookends caught my eye. Along with a collection of colorful books, I’d also incorporate white picture frames, a small white lamp, a white vase… the list goes on and on.” – Katie Underhill, Managing Editor (Photo courtesy of store.plantationdesign.com)
3. Owl Bookends from the Zoo Collection by Skip Hop. “Forget wood and metal… these cute little owls will add a plush and playful touch to any baby room bookshelf. Great as a baby shower gift, this pair will have any mom-to-be hooting with glee!” – Lauren Schrader, Art Director (Photo courtesy of www.skiphop.com)

4. Bentley The Westie bookends from Anthropologie. “There isn’t a dog-lover out there that wouldn’t enjoy having these two pups standing guard over his or her book collection.” – Suzie Osterloh, Publishing Director (Photo courtesy of www.anthropologie.com)
