Whether you have a little or a lot of cookbooks, they can bring a lot of charm to your kitchen decor. When staging, I like to display an open cookbook on the counter to making it more inviting. There is something about them that adds a lot of charm to the space. What’s great about them, too, is how versatile they are – there are so many ways to store and display them.
They can be great to incorporate right into your decor. The colorful spines can bring style to your cabinets or countertops, depending on where you have the space or need a pop of color. If you want more of a minimalist look, there are some clever spots to store them in, too. These 10 spaces offer some great ideas for storing and displaying cookbooks in a variety of ways.
