Novel ideas for books

I love the look and feel of a real book. I hate the idea that one day the written word will only be found on an electronic device. And, whilst Ereaders are great for little homes, it's still lovely to be able to have some 'proper' books on display. If shelving space is scare, thinking about where to display them can be tricky, however. We hope that these alternatives to traditional bookcases will inspire you:

This funky four-poster bed includes a nifty series of bookcases beneath and at the rear.

And, I found space for a neat little stack of books under this pedestal bedside table. 

Look up as well, when thinking about where to put books. Here a ceiling beam makes a perfect spot for our little library.

And, the collection carries on here in our bedroom. I love the way this mini skyline of books brightens up the top of our wardrobes.
