When it comes to adding the finishing touches to your home in the form of accessories, sometimes the best decor are things you already have lying around or being used in a different capacity. Books are a great example of this. Books with beautiful covers can be used as decor on a coffee table, bedside table, vignette, and in many other places.

What’s great about book styling is how versatile it is. No matter what size, shape or color you need, you can find them. You can stack them to make them whatever height you need, lay them upright or on their sides, vary the arrangement, mix up the colors — whatever you need to do. They are wonderfully customizable, not to mention fashionable.

Here are 10 fabulous book styling ideas to show you some of the many ways they can be used and inspire you for your home:
