Tree Bookends
Our first set of bookends is made from wood and each of the two ends features three green trees. It is colorful, and rustic looking. This set of bookends has a calming sense about it that will go wonderful with the books that they are supporting. These bookends are available on Etsy.
Leaf Bookends
Our next set of bookends is dual-purpose as they can also serve as candlestick holders. However, if this is to be their function in your home, please do not put them near any books. These silver leaf shaped bookmarks are elegant and charming. They’re also a play on words when it comes to reading as turning the page is sometimes referred to as turning over a new leaf. You’ll find these bookends on Etsy.
Victorian Bookends
Do you enjoy the Victorian era? Our next set of bookends look like they stepped off the pages of an intriguing novel from the 1920’s. One bookend has a man on it and the other has a woman, each dressed in Victorian clothing. They would look wonderful on a bookcase or shelf showcasing some older books. They can be found on Etsy.
Black Cat Bookends
There has been a lot of speculation regarding black cats and whether or not they are unlucky. This is a superstitious which is exactly that. We located a set of bookends on Etsy which have black cats on them, and we love the way that they look. They would look amazing on a set of bookshelves. If they are white shelves, the black cat bookends with their green bases will certainly add a pop of color.

Nautical Bookends
If you are a fan of the sea or boats, a set of nautical themed, cast-iron bookends from the 1920s might make you jump for joy. These vintage bookends are like buried treasure, rare and intriguing. They can be found on Etsy. There are also some books like that, which give the reader so much happiness when they find a copy of a story that they have been searching for.
Family Bookends
Our next set of bookends is remarkable. Each bookend reveals a beautiful scene that celebrates family. On one side is a grandfather walking with his grandchild. The other side is a grandmother rocking one of her grandchildren while reading it a book. These bookends double as art and will give you the kind of emotions that the best books evoke. These bookends are available on Etsy.
Tree of Life Bookends
The tree of life has many different meanings, it is also stunningly beautiful. We located a set of heavy-duty, gold bookends featuring this well-known tree on Amazon. Trees, like books help to give us essentials to live our best lives.
Bird Bookends
Birds are another beautiful and inspiring subject and we found some decorative and useful brass-colored bookends. They have the ability to bring some cheer to your bookcase. They can be found on Amazon.
The number of possibilities for bookends is endless.
