Choosing a Set of Bookends

Accent any room of your home with a set of bookends from west elm. These home accent items come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors to coordinate with your decor. When it comes to materials, some of the options include stone, wood and metal. There are even sets crafted from lava rock, with natural variations that make each set unique.

Decorating with Bookends

There are lots of ways to decorate your home with bookends. Traditionally, these items are used to hold books upright, but you can also use them to hold magazines. They can even be displayed on their own as decorative objects, without the need for books at all. You can display these pieces together or place them in separate locations, depending on how you plan to use them.

Regarding placement, you can put these functional accents on the mantel to add visual interest. Or, you could put them on a side table next to the sofa. They also work well on floating wall shelves and bookcases. There are lots of options when it comes to placing these book holders around your home. These accent items look great in the living room, but you can also use them in other rooms, such as the bedroom or family room.

Some of these pieces are multifunctional. For example, you may find planter bookends, which not only hold your books but also serve as containers for plants. You can fill them with potting soil and a live plant, or you can use them to display a faux plant or floral arrangement. West elm has artificial plants and flowers that look just like the real thing.

Integrating Other Home Accents

You can pair these book holders with other home accent items for a coordinated look. For example, if you opt for a set crafted from marble and wood, you could reflect the style throughout the room with other wood and marble accents, such as a marble floating shelf or one of the decorative objects at west elm that are crafted from wood.

Explore the selection of bookends at west elm to find an array of stylish options. You may also want to check out the other decorative items, which range from traditional to modern. West elm also has all the furnishings you need for a comfortable, well-equipped home, including sofas, chairs and tables in every style.
