2.Give new meaning to the term reading lamp by using actual books to form the base of a tabletop light, as seen on HGTV.
3.A lack of light (or lack of green thumb) might prevent you from keeping plants in the bedroom, but this book-tree, seen on Art and Design News, easily makes up for a lack of greenery.
4.Tuck your books in a totally unexpected place, like the inside of a deconstructed piano, as seen on Pianissimo.
5.Build a dreamy archway out of similarly-colored books to create a dramatic structure that can be used to decorate special events, or as a statement piece inside your home (this one was beautifully captured by Rubin Weddings.)
6.This Etsy bookrack gives voracious readers the chance to keep their favorites on display, while never losing their spot — each peg works as a bookmark, too.
7.Turn your own backyard into an outdoor library by outfitting a garage door with plenty of shelves, and even more books, also seen on Vic Books.
8. A good book will never be out of reach with this Etsy reading chair built into a set of bookshelves. (Thanks for the tip, BuzzFeed!)
