Decoration: Staging literature with accessories
Loving books means living with them. In addition to being a pastime and hobby, they are also decorative objects. So when buying accessories, ask yourself what style you want to implement. Do you want the accessories to support the literature or be the eye-catcher themselves? Large books require equally massive bookends. Small books require delicate stands.
Material: what bookends and bookmarks need to do
When buying bookends, pay attention to their weight. They should be heavy enough to prevent books from falling over. Concrete bookends such as those from Kornprodukte are suitable for heavy literature such as encyclopaedias. For light books, a bookend made of wood or metal such as from Hay is perfectly adequate. Bookends that stand on sensitive surfaces should also have a rubberized or otherwise coated base. This protects the bookcase and other design furniture from scratches. The material is not decisive for the function of bookmarks. Here, your taste is the most important selection criterion.
Design: Which style do you like best?
Both bookends and bookmarks can be simple and elegant or original and eye-catching. Which option you choose depends on your personal taste. In plain rooms, an eye-catching accessory can help to highlight books. Colorful rooms can be given a calm complement with an understated bookend.
Variants: create creative freedom
If you need several bookends or bookmarks, we recommend different versions of the same item. They bring variety to the decoration. Manufacturers such as e15, for example, offer bookends in different sizes and colors. This gives you scope for design.
Additional benefits: what characterizes good design
A sign of well thought-out design is when products can be used in different ways. This also applies to book accessories. Bookends help both to showcase literature and to organize it. Bookmarks, such as the one from Moleskine , also function as a reading light and the Ritterbach bookend made of wood from the Collection is both a bookmark and a presentation surface for your book.

Questions about book accessories
What size is a bookmark?
Bookmarks do not have a standardized size. This is because they differ in terms of material and design. For paperbacks, use a variant up to 20 centimeters long. This way, your bookmark will only protrude from one edge of the book.
Which paper is suitable for bookmarks?
Bookmarks made of paper are more fragile than those made of wood, plastic or metal. If you want to take your bookmark with you when you travel, it is advisable to use a sturdier version. For paper, a thickness of 300 grams or more is recommended. This will prevent unsightly creases and tears.
