How do you display a book nook on a bookshelf?
Place your finished book nook in a standard bookshelf slot between two books or bookends. Make sure the opening faces outward so the scene is visible. Most book nook shelf inserts are sized to fit standard bookshelves, but always check the kit dimensions against your shelf opening before purchasing. For the best visual effect, position the book nook near eye level where the built-in LED lights contrast with softer room lighting. Corner book nook placements work well if you angle the piece slightly toward the viewer.
