In his mind, books are design objects, which is why for certain clients he doesn\u2019t pick books based on the topic or quality of the writing but based on the colour of the cover and especially of the spine of the books. Superficial? Maybe. But breathtaking?\u00a0 Yes. As Thatcher explained in an interview for<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.townandcountrymag.com\/style\/home-decor\/a28680227\/how-to-organize-books-thatcher-wine-gwyneth-paltrow\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Town and Country Magazine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about what you are trying to accomplish.

A bookcase refers to the rectangle or square free-standing furniture with integrated shelves, like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/cat\/bookcases-10382\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">these ones from IKEA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A bookshelf is simply a shelf screwed to the wall where you pile up books. It can be a single floating shelf or many, and you can also find a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/cat\/wall-shelves-10398\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">large range of them on IKEA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as well. Good news is, if you buy a substantial bookshelf, you can ask a Tasker<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/services\/handyman\/assemble-furniture\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to build it for you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while you sort out your books. And if you need some help to<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/services\/handyman\/shelf-mounting\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mount your shelves to your wall, a Tasker can also do that<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for you. Especially if you plan on having books on your bookshelf, you are better off with the expertise of a professional to make sure your shelf won\u2019t fall under the weight of your box set of Games of Thrones.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13064 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521-1024x860.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521-1024x860.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521-300x252.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521-768x645.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521-1536x1290.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521-571x480.jpg 571w, https:\/\/www.taskrabbit.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/beazy-UYCoey0IImc-unsplash-scaled-e1651070531521.jpg 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h2><b>How to get a nice-looking library?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to judge books only by their covers (and spines). Here are our top 10 tips to style your bookshelf or bookcase and to dress it like an element of design in your home:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Don\u2019t fill your bookcase with books only<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Candles, flowers &#8211; especially succulents or cacti that don\u2019t need much water, lamps, small decorative objects brought back from trips abroad or artwork, all of these will make your bookcase stand out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Remove the dust jackets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only keep them if they are still in good condition and you plan on reading the book soon and carry it in your bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Organised chaos over repetitiveness\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternate between horizontal and vertical stacking when you put away your books. You can even have some standout books with the cover facing you to break the rhythm of simple stacks of books.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Use storage boxes for your magazines<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Magazines or newspapers won\u2019t look as neat as books piled up on a bookcase, so put them in a wicker basket or vintage storage trunk so that they\u2019re easy to access whenever you\u2019re ready to do some crossword puzzles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Organise books by theme or based on the colour of their spine<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or do a bit of both. Putting different shades of black, red, green or yellow next to each other, even with books that are of very different sizes, will create a nice effect, especially on a bare wall. But you can also arrange your books by themes and keep one book facing you so the theme is evident to you.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Display framed photos<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A couple of framed family or vacation photos in-between books or on top of books stacked horizontally will bring some life and energy to your bookcase or bookshelf.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>7. Reserve a space for the books you haven\u2019t read yet<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like you have a Netflix list of TV shows and movies you plan on watching, put together a corner with all the books you haven\u2019t read yet. This might actually remind you &#8211; before you turn on the TV &#8211; that there are other forms of entertainment available to you!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>8. Get a separate space for kids&#8217; books<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even more than adults, kids see their library grow exponentially by the year. To get your little one to take an interest in reading, the best way is to make it appealing. That means, first, not stacking up horizontally their books, which would make most of them inaccessible to your kids. The best layout is to actually have the covers facing you, meaning you need to organise the books by putting the largest in the back and the smaller in the front. This works better with<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/ca\/en\/p\/mosslanda-picture-ledge-white-40291766\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shelves with an edge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/p\/bergig-book-display-with-storage-white-00472702\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book display unit like this one from IKEA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>9. Bookends are your friends<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can thank the American <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">William Stebbins Barnard for this one. A biologist and an inventor, he<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US186974A\/en\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">patented bookends<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as we know them in 1877.
