Create a Theme: Arrange books by color or subject matter to create a cohesive look. For example, group fashion

[{"selector":"#anim-28af8880-48d6-4c08-bd2e-b66f8958db36 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cf8299e5-bb21-43f6-afad-0c9e3aafe7d4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Horizontal Stacks: Stack books horizontally to create levels, which can also serve as platforms for other decorative items.

[{"selector":"#anim-5a669129-cf08-483a-86ef-b838bbfe0ed3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-945128c4-be19-49f3-8a38-80182a09ab49","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Vertical Placement: Stand books up or lean them for added height and dimension.

[{"selector":"#anim-4fccb1c4-2494-4f70-9239-c9594c2742e3 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b07b34c-40f9-459a-aac2-f3f44ec7d85d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Layering Sizes: Use a larger book as a base and stack smaller ones on top to create visual interest.

[{"selector":"#anim-4aa1b55b-26ca-4b83-a3b8-773be96e6de5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b710a4d-5ae8-49da-8463-08e6d13ef3d0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Incorporate Decorative Objects: Place small items like vases, candles, or sculptures on or beside the books.

[{"selector":"#anim-98e4ab76-b4a6-4bb6-b246-fc875443f022 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-27fd33a3-2737-4792-953b-ef935939efb5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Use Trays: Organize books and decor items on a tray to define the space and add structure.

[{"selector":"#anim-2fe05b6c-f0de-49f1-b4f1-3583834f4424 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.552713678800501e-15%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-08583ec7-59ea-4e72-b470-0cf626a27528","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Balance Usability and Decoration: Ensure the arrangement leaves space for practical items like remotes or drinks.

[{"selector":"#anim-73ce998e-1c67-4716-9eeb-798f39780985 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":4000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e7e4e608-0a3d-47bc-8c53-2a9959c3da32","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":300,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]
