So today we are going to look at some Awesome Ways To Display Cookbooks in Your Kitchen! Hope you get tons of new Cookbooks this Holiday Season!
IKEA Hack Display – The Kitchn
I personally love this idea! With a simple IKEA Plate Rack, you can beautifully display your cookbooks, turning them into wall art. Meg discovered this over at Grillo Design, where she shares step-by-step instructions on how to hang it (TikTok tutorial here). This budget-friendly hack works anywhere in the home but is especially perfect for the kitchen!
Displaying Cookbooks in a Glass Cabinet – Decor Pad
If you have cabinets with glass doors, they’re an amazing spot to display your cookbooks. No glass doors? No problem! Consider removing a door to create an open bookshelf for your special collection.
Window Ledge Cookbook Shelf – Decor Pad
If your kitchen sink has a window sill, it’s the perfect place to showcase some of your favorite cookbooks. Add a plant or herb for a touch of charm!
Displaying Books on a Tray – Isn’t That Charming
Short on space? Choose a few favorite cookbooks and arrange them on a decorative tray with stylish bookends. Practical, chic, and space-saving!

Just remove a cabinet door…maybe headboard…paint or wallpaper the background and add your books and some pretty accessories. VOILA! Thanks Domino for the inspiration!

Joanna Gaines
Joanna Gaines always finds the perfect way to display things and she made this collection of Cookbooks sine in The Safe Gamble House. Adding shelves to the end cap of your cabinets or island will be an addition that you will happy with the rest of your life. Don’t forget a little bit of greenery…it adds the perfect touch!
Mom 4 Real
Jess over at Mom 4 Real purchases a cabinet that she turned into a great Kitchen Island. It is not only extremely useful but it is truly a decorative treasure. You can achieve the same look by visiting a Thrift Store and snatching up a small bookshelf or an old cabinet which you just have to remove the doors from and create. You can add fun and decorative legs…a Towel Bar and Hooks on the sides and save the top shelf for those fabulous Cookbooks or fill it up with them from top to bottom.
Elle Decor
Elle Decor is featuring this brilliant idea. For larger collections you can remove the doors of the entire top cabinet space and instantly you have a great Bookshelf Unit. This will be the star of your room. If you decide to take the styling a bit further and add a great pot and pan collection on the backsplash along with cooking treasures on the counter…WOW! Be inspired…who knew it could be as easy as removing a cabinet door or doors.
Grace and Ivy
If you are lucky enough to have a collection of Vintage Cookbooks…adding them to an antique Farmhouse Scale is exactly what your Country Kitchen has been looking for. You can add a plant on top or a special tin…anything your heart desires. A great decorative way to display these little treasures. Visit Grace and Ivy for more decorating ideas.
When I was looking through Pinterest I found this fun Wall but there was no direct back link…but I still had to share it with you. Just by adding some floating shelves to a wall you can create and entire Cookbook Display…it will actually look like a large piece of artwork since all of the covers will be facing out. I bet when your family and friends come over…they will pick up a book or two because the space simply invites them to. Love this idea and you can make it as large or small as you would like. Side note…this would be a great idea for a child’s room.
I know that we covered removing the cabinet doors…but that is not what caught my eye on this pin..it was the Cookbook Displayed on the easel …how great does that look and what a wonderful way to display the book along with your favorite recipe. Plus it’s a perfect holder when you are actually making dinner. No moving the book around or the chance of getting it dirty with your hands.
Rain One a Tin Roof
Over at Rain On A Tin Roof you will find a simple yet oh so Industrial way to display some Cookbooks on the wall. Just be turning strong wire baskets on their sides and attaching the to the wall…you books have a farmhouse fabulous place to live. Add 2…3…to the wall or more!
Jaymee Smp
I love this idea that shows you that by simply adding regular shelving with off the rack brackets can turn into an incredible display for your favorite books…pottery…plants…spices and more. With some paint you can make them to coordinate perfectly with your Kitchen Decor. It doesn’t have to be expensive to be amazing!
Decozilla
Decozilla shows us that just two little ledges could be just what we need for a small collection of Cookbooks. It is the perfect way to fill an empty spot that needs some style too. So quick…so easy…so inexpensive…so useful!
The Farm Chicks
I personally think that The Farm chicks came up with such a charming way to display a few of your special Cookbooks with total Farmhouse Style! By simple taking a vintage dish rack and filling it with books it becomes a precious and unique display and storage. I wonder if Joanna Gaines has used this trick???
The Red Painted Cottage
The creative Carol from The Red Painted Cottage created a great Vintage Style Farmer’s Market Crate and it is now housing her Cookbook Collection in true Farmhouse Style. You can do the same by purchasing an old crate or buying a premed one and paint it to the style you love. One way or another it is going to look great on the counter.
StoneGable
Yvonne over at StoneGable has the best ideas. Do you see what she has done here. She took a small vintage style step stool and place a stack of Cookbooks on it and then he filled up a big wire basket with Cookbooks underneath the Buffet…she even stores her linens in vintage crates. So imaginative and it looks Farmtastic! There is so much inspiration over at her blog!
Becky’s Farmhouse
Talk about creative! I don’t think I would ever have thought to use a Vintage Style Chicken Feeder for a place to display some Cookbooks and Pamphlet Cookbooks. So charming. Becky’s Farmhouse is waiting to welcome you for many other display ideas.
This reminds us if we have some extra Hutch Space…it is a wonderful place to display some of those Cookbooks!
