Decorative and faux books
Books on a shelf or coffee table add warmth and style to a room, even if you never read them. Choose from book imitations that don't open, books that open to reveal a hidden storage compartment, and designer covers with art, fashion and travel motifs in black and white or beige tones.
Decorative and faux books
Interior stylists love them because they complete an arrangement without the need to hunt for real titles with the right spine colour. Non-opening imitations act as a solid block, so you can place a vase, a candle or a small figurine on top and create a striking still life. They look like real volumes but are lightweight, so they won't weigh down even a narrow shelf.
The opening versions conceal a storage compartment for keys, jewellery, charging cables or small keepsakes. On a shelf among other books they blend in, serving as a discreet hiding place and a handy box for small items. They also make original gift packaging, for example for money or a voucher.
Covers with lettering about Paris, London or sunny coastlines, motifs by famous painters or inspiring quotes give the space its own character. You can stack the books by colour, combine them with plants and framed photos, or swap them around with the seasons.
