Using books to style a retail space has always been my go to for merchandising. I use books as risers, stack them in cloches and urns, cover them with animal prints, or wrap them in ribbons. I selected some of my favorite store displays with books to share with you. Of course you can use these same ideas to style your home.
I love urns in any shape or size. Filling them with books makes me love them even more.

A cloche is the perfect way to display treasures under glass. This time the treasures are a stack of books that make the bust just the right height.

I like stacking them inside the shelves of a cupboard.
