Decorating for Christmas with books couldn't be easier. With pre-bundled colour collections, you can match any colour theme within your home.

Regal gold and jewel ones, blues, reds, and greens are our top picks when decorating our own homes, but we like to experiment with slight variations on these colours as well.

Once you’ve picked the right colours to match your decorations it is time to start getting creative with their placement. This is the really fun part!

Centre pieces

Vintage books make for beautiful table centrepieces for your Christmas roast and festive gatherings. Add baubles, ribbon, ornaments, pinecones, candles, and anything else you feel compliments the look.

Mantle piece decoration

The fire and decorated mantle is arguably one of the most festive parts of the home. At Christmas, the warmth it provides is not only limited to the fire itself, but to the decoration around it.

Drawing the eye and inviting a closer inspection than other pats of the house, the fireplace mantle is the perfect place to display luxury books in pride of place.

Around the Christmas tree

When imaging a Christmas tree, we may imagine that underneath it sits presents, and around its base a toy train. Close by, there may even be toys from times past that evoke the nostalgia of Christmas such teddy bears and small rocking horses.

What better compliment to this heart-warming scene than seasonal tales like A Christmas Carol and books that remind us to share in the holiday joy with others, such as those full of Christmas songs and stories for children?

On coffee tables and flat surfaces

This one is a little broad, because we couldn’t possibly list every surface in your home that you could decorate with beautiful vintage books! We love placing interesting titles on coffee tables as conversation starters.

We also love to keep the theme of Christmas going throughout the house, placing them in carefully selected places that would otherwise be left bare and ruin the Christmas aesthetic. Books can even be used on staircases, with them looking especially classy lined up against the open side of the stairs.

As you can see there are no-end of ways to decorate for Christmas using books. So start gathering inspiration, and remember to have fun!
