One of my favorite new trends is a unique way to display your favorite books: stacking one on top of the other. It’s a simple way to mix up your current bookshelf or create new displays around the house.
I love the way stacked books look on ledges, like the above left photo, or the way the ‘invisible bookcases’ (shown below) work seamlessly into the above right room.

Turning your favorite coffee table books into a side table is genius! Add a tray to protect your favorites from glass marks and dust.

Its true, stacking books is a new rend. But there is a way to do it so that it looks classy and stylish and theres a way to do it so that it just looks messy!
