KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Coffee table books are a piece of art in themselves. If you\\u2019re at a loss for what to do with a coffee table, layering these are a great option for styling.
- When styling a large bookcase, you cannot do it without books. You don\\u2019t want everything sitting flat on a shelf and when you need to raise and lower certain pieces, books are the way to do it. Another tip is using wallpaper to cover books!
- Taking the time to personalize a gift can make such an impact on friends and family.\\xa0\\xa0
