Stefano Tonchi's Manhattan Apartment

One of the simplest, and most personal, ways to add warmth and comfort to any space is to display your books. I read quite a bit so I have books everywhere, and I think it's a great look. Above is New York Times Style Magazine editor Stefano Tonchi's bookshelf in his Manhattan apartment. It's chock-full of art books and monographs and looks perfect as is--a bit out of sorts and visibly in flux. Below is a stack of books in New York-based interior designer Ryan Korban's studio apartment. As you can see, no bookshelf is even necessary. As long as you've got some great reading material, you're good to go!
