Bookends

    Decorative Bookends for Shelves & Beyond
    A good set of bookends does two things well, it keeps books upright and in place, and it contributes something visually to the shelf it lives on. Magnolia's bookend collection brings together decorative bookends in brass and aged metal pieces chosen to function as decor even when the shelf around them changes.

    How to Style Bookends
    Bookends work best when they're treated as part of the shelf's overall composition rather than purely functional objects. On a styled bookcase, brass bookends anchor a row of books on one side while a small object such as  a ceramic vase, a candle, or a small plant, fills in on the other. The visual weight of the bookend should feel proportional to the books it's holding: heavier, more substantial styles for large hardcovers and full shelves, lighter decorative pieces for smaller collections or display shelves.
