Idea to Steal: The Great Book Debate

While this Idea to Steal is nearly five years old, I think the debate still rages. I’m eager to hear what you think!

Bookshelves are an essential tool in your styling arsenal. Book collections are the no-brainer way to add personality to a room. But sometimes you need a breath of fresh air and this week’s Idea to Steal is just that.

What if, instead a cacophony of random titles, all those different colors and fonts screaming at you, you just turned the spines of your books around?! Suddenly, you have a soft, neutral and monochromatic look.

My dear friend Kirsten of Simply Grove actually caught a ton of flack for this concept when she debuted it back in 2010, but these days the look continues to pop up everywhere. And given that I love pretty much every idea Kirsten ever has, of course, I’m loving this too. In fact, we already tried it in a little corner of the loft.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the anonymous bookshelf look?
