Living With Books

from Boulevard Beat · host Meghan Blum and Krissa Rossbund

Books aren’t just for reading—they’re for layering, styling, and storytelling within your space. In this episode of Boulevard Beat, Meghan and Krissa explore the power of books as a design element. From coffee table classics to vintage volumes stacked just so, we dive into how books bring warmth, texture, and personality into a room.We share tips on curating your collection, choosing the right scale and colors, and how to make books part of your interiors in meaningful (and stylish) ways. Whether you’re a maximalist or a minimalist, you’ll leave inspired to look at your bookshelves—and your design projects—a little differently.Street Style Takeaways :·  Books Add Soul – Every room needs something personal. Books reflect your interests and give depth to your space. Don’t be afraid to show off your collection.·  Stack with Intention – Vary horizontal and vertical stacks, and consider proportion. Tall, large books work great on the bottom for visual weight.·  Spines Matter – Think about color, texture, and typography. A curated spine lineup can be as impactful as art.·  Mix High & Low – Combine beautiful design books with thrifted finds, novels, or even kids’ books. It’s the mix that makes it feel lived-in and layered.·  Think Beyond the Shelf – Books work on console tables, kitchen counters, nightstands—even the bathroom. They’re one of the most versatile styling tools out there.Save 15% site wide at ⁠www.houseofblum.com⁠ with promo code beat15!Or you can use this link- ⁠https://houseofblum.com/discount/beat15⁠!Connect with the Hosts ⁠https://www.instagram.com/boulevardbeatpodcast/⁠ Connect with Meghan Blum Interiors ⁠https://www.instagram.com/meghanbluminteriors/⁠Connect with House of Blum ⁠https://www.instagram.com/shophouseofblum/⁠ Connect with Krissa Rossbund. ⁠https://www.instagram.com/krissa_rossbund/⁠ Connect with Liz Lidgett ⁠https://www.instagram.com/lizlidgett/⁠ Episode Website ⁠https://www.blvdbeat.com/about⁠ Save 15% site wide at ⁠www.houseofblum.com⁠ with promo code beat15!Or you can use this link- ⁠https://houseofblum.com/discount/beat15⁠!Connect with the Hosts ⁠https://www.instagram.com/boulevardbeatpodcast/⁠ Connect with Meghan Blum Interiors ⁠https://www.instagram.com/meghanbluminteriors/⁠Connect with House of Blum ⁠https://www.instagram.com/shophouseofblum/⁠ Connect with Krissa Rossbund. ⁠https://www.instagram.com/krissa_rossbund/⁠ Episode Website ⁠https://www.blvdbeat.com/about⁠
