Books For Wallpaper? A New Decorating Classic

I came across an article recently discussing wallpaper that was pictures of books. It is apparently becoming quite popular to use this theme in borders, as striping and in full wallpaper. Being a book lover myself I was kind of intrigued by the idea as it had never occurred to me before.

After all, why would you want a picture of a book when you could have the real thing? The pictures vary from magazines, paperbacks, bright colored books for children to the ultra elegant classic works of literature. I guess if used in the right room in the right way it would look fabulous but to me nothing is as good as the real thing.

After all; "A room without books is like a body without a soul" - Marcus T. Cicero
