For an endless stream of beautiful images dedicated to all things books, head to Instagram and search for the hashtag #bookstagram. From bookmarks to bookstores, bookends to book art, these posts make us want to skip work and read all day. You’ll probably discover a few new tomes to read, too.
Check out the #bookstagram images that inspire us – and if you post your own, tag us @CeladonBooks so we can see them!
The Neighborhood Book Store (@ladyandthelibrary)
Anywhere you travel, a small corner bookstore is a cherished and magical place. There’s zero chance we’d walk past this doorway without going in.
A Reader’s Paradise (@thedharmadoorusa)
Look at that couch with all the pillows and the shade and the plants…and is that tea? If this isn’t the perfect reading nook, then perfect reading nooks don’t exist.
Colorful Book Stacks (@rooreads)
Isn’t this beautiful? If anyone needs us, we’ll be sorting our books by color and taking artistic stack photos for Instagram.
A Wall of Lit (@sparklingroute)
Bookshelf wallpaper covering a brick wall in Amsterdam, Netherlands. How soon can we make that happen here?
Marble Art (@ikahordaland)
Oh, 100-year-old marbling! Don’t you want to flip these pages through your fingers and watch as the beautiful marble patterns settle perfectly in place? And don’t get us started on that old book smell…
They Get Us (@bestlittlebookshopintown)
Bookstore chalkboards are always so entertaining. In this case, they are also full of great advice and recommended reads.
The Dining Library (@thekrestel.studio)
These dining room bookshelves are both gorgeous and genius. Life goals: have a delicious meal and your entire library, all within reaching distance.
Poetry for the People (@henikadistrictlibrary)
A basket full of poems that people can take for free. Imagine everyone walking around with some Whitman or Angelou in their pocket. What a wonderful idea!

The Art of Reading (@abookthiefsworld)
When in Barcelona, Spain, be sure to grab a seat next to this young reader and enjoy a book together.
Art from Oz (@rhino.booksellers)
The book spine art on this 14-volume set of L. Frank Baum’s Oz series is charming with a nostalgic twist. It’s the type of collection to save and pass down to the next generation of readers.
Pretty Placeholders (@hazjohnart)
We laid eyes on this hand-painted bookmark and instantly realized that it’s time to upgrade our page placeholder ASAP.
The Cuppa (@kitstercronk)
Whether you’re a tea or coffee person, everyone has a favorite mug they grab when settling down with a good book. We can’t argue with the message on this one.
The Real Arc de Triomphe (@the_book_wings)
We think that this beautiful rare-bookstore doorway in Lyon, France, rivals that other famous arc they have in Paris.
Living Bookends (@nightshade_studio)
Bookends are often elegant or whimsical, but we love the look of small planters at the end of a row of books. Bonus: extra oxygen in your reading room.
Floor-to-Ceiling Bookshelves (@clubedolivro_2019)
The books-as-wallpaper effect is one that will never grow old. Now if you’ll excuse us, we have to go buy a house with an attic that we can renovate.
